Tommy Paul Keeps on Truckin' at French Open After Getting His Repossessed Vehicle Back
- Tommy Paul, the 12th-seeded tennis player, won his first-round match at the 2025 French Open in Paris against Elmer Moller on May 25.
- The match occurred during a period when Paul dealt with his Ford F-150 truck repossession in Florida after missing about three payments due to a bank change and forgetting to adjust automatic payments.
- Playing in alternating rain, wind, and sunshine at Court Simonne-Mathieu, Paul rebounded from a set down to win 6-7, 6-2, 6-3, 6-1, advancing to face Marton Fucsovics next.
- Paul posted black-and-white social media footage of his truck being towed with Celine Dion's 'My Heart Will Go On,' explaining, 'I missed, I think it was, like three payments,' and noted surprise at how quickly it was taken.
- Despite his off-court issues, Paul remains focused on reaching the second week of Roland Garros, aiming to improve his best Major result on clay this season.
