Tommy Paul had something slightly different driving him at the Rome Open this week. The American tennis player told reporters on Thursday that his truck had been repossessed — and that the prize money from this week was helping him get it back.
Paul reached the semifinals of the Open after a win over Polish player Hubert Hurkacz on Thursday. Afterwards, Paul told reporters that he had been balancing his play with a "stressful week off-court," saying that his Ford F-150 had been "repo'd" from his house in Boca Raton, Florida.
"Ford took it back. I'm excited to get it back," Paul said, via multiple outlets.
