American tennis star Tommy Paul took part in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics but got defeated in his first-round match against Aslan Karatsev. Now Paris will be a chance at redemption.

Tommy Paul believes consistency is the key to success in the racket sport

During a conversation with ‘Haute Living’, Tommy Paul reflected on his road to the Olympics, “In a lot of other sports, you train and peak at the Olympics, and train harder to get there. Our season is constant throughout the year, so there isn’t a dedicated ramp-up; you always have to be consistent in your game.” He believes tennis is an interesting sport in that respect.

As far as the Olympics are concerned, Paul went on to assure, ” I’m not treating it differently than any other tournaments. I want to do as well as I can, but every tournament I play, I want to win just as badly.” However, last time it wasn’t a great experience for the 26-year-old as he elaborated on the strange things they had to go through because of the COVID-19 protocols. He now looks forward to playing more freely this time around in Paris.
