The 26-year-old sensation was recently featured in an interview with the Tennis Channel, in which he emphasized his upcoming blockbuster Cincinnati Open match against Carlos Alcaraz. Meanwhile, Tommy Paul also got involved in an off-court discussion, his cover photoshoot for Vanity Fair magazine ahead of the US Open.

In the latest edition of the popular fashion magazine, the American world No. 13 was seen donning a unique alligator-skin trench coat. Taking note of the same, the ATP player was asked about his inspiration behind the grandiose looks. However, Paul said, “It wasn’t like we could go in there and pick our outfits, you know.

He added, “And they are like this is what you’re wearing and I’m like, ‘The Alligator Skin Trenchcoat, huh? That’s what I’m wearing'”
