Italian Open: Tommy Paul reaches Rome final and says truck repossessed

Tommy Paul says he has been “grinding” to reclaim his repossessed truck after reaching the semi-finals of the Italian Open.

The American 11th seed beat Poland’s Hubert Hurkacz 7-6 (7-4) 6-3 to secure a place in the last four in Rome for the second consecutive year.

The 27-year-old prevailed despite telling reporters he had endured a “stressful week” off the court.

“On court everything has been going pretty well,” said Paul. “Off court, a little bit of a stressful week.

“I got my truck repossessed. I missed a couple of payments and they took my truck from my house this week. I’ve been grinding to get my truck back. If you know me, that’s my baby.

“I’m excited to get it back. I had to win a couple of matches so I could pay that off.”

Paul said he had to pay $1,000 (£752) to secure the vehicle’s return.

The former *********** Open semi-finalist is already guaranteed prize money of about £245,000 this fortnight.

He will face either world number one Jannik Sinner or sixth seed Casper Ruud in the semi-finals.
