The left ankle injury that the American tennis player sustained during his match against Martin Damm Jr. returned for the second time in a short period of time. This most recent injury seemed worse than the first one that Paul had during his three-set loss to Daniil Medvedev the previous Saturday after he had advanced to the Indian Wells semifinals.

He raced the net aggressively in the middle of a point on his serve, only to return hobbled. He made an attempt but was clearly in pain as he tried to get to his chair on the other side of the court before leaving. Recently, a popular sports journalist, Ben Rothenberg, shared an update regarding how Paul’s injury isn’t expected to be too bad for him.
