In the world of professional tennis, players usually sign things like tennis balls, posters, and sometimes even tennis rackets for their fans. But this year’s US Open has a unique story to tell, thanks to Tommy Paul. While players are trying to make a name for themselves at the final Grand Slam of the year, the American player has become the center of attention for reasons that are quite weird, to say the least.

Tommy Paul is making headlines for shattering the mold of conventional autograph sessions. A viral video has emerged, capturing an unusual moment that has the internet buzzing. Fans just cannot have enough of the absurd twist that unfolded after the match ended.

Tommy Paul finds an absurd autograph session lined up after his victory

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.

Naturally, this funny moment made its way to Twitter, where people couldn’t stop talking about it. One person wondered, “Who brings toilet paper to a tennis tournament? 😳😳,”

Someone even teased, “He’s going to bed like that 🤣.”

Jumping aside from the giggles, a fan observed, “Just found out he writes lefty”

Keeping the Gen Z adage in mind, another fan quipped, “But not the Spartan cap 🧢 🔥”

Tommy Paul’s decision to sign whatever his fans handed him, whether it was a forehead or a roll of toilet paper, has left a lasting impression at this year’s US Open. While he didn’t sign the Spartan cap, he did show his funny side and made quite a few fans smile! While Tommy Paul’s autograph stint did send the internet into a frenzy, it isn’t the only headline for the American.

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.
