In the midst of the bustling crowd at the US Open, Tommy Paul found himself confronted by a fan with an unexpected request. Instead of the customary tennis memorabilia, this enthusiastic spectator boldly extended their forehead for the tennis star to autograph. Yes, you read that right: their forehead! But that’s not all; in the same video, we see yet another fan holding out a roll of toilet paper for Tommy Paul’s autograph. Again, you read that right. It’s TP signing TPs.

Tommy Paul and his glorious US Open run
While Tommy Paul’s autograph escapades are making waves off the court, the American tennis sensation is also making quite a splash on it. In a remarkable turn of events at the US Open, Paul achieved a career-first by advancing to the fourth round.
In a recent match on Arthur Ashe Stadium, Tommy faced off against Spain’s Alejandro Davidovich Fokina. The game was a bit of a rollercoaster, with Tommy ultimately winning 6-1, 6-0, 3-6, 6-3. Paul, seeded 14th, began the match on an overwhelmingly dominant note. His performance during the opening two sets left no doubt about his prowess. In contrast, Davidovich Fokina seemed out of sorts.
