TOMMY PAUL has swapped love on the Wimbledon scoreboard to love with his fiancee by proposing to her this week.
American Paul, 28, popped the question to his Instagram influencer girlfriend Paige Lorenze this week, just 10 days on from competing at Wimbledon.
The pair took to Instagram in a joint post on Sunday, uploading pictures from the moment including them embracing and Lorenze’s gorgeous rock.
The caption of the photo posted out to Lorenze’s one million followers simply read: “Forever.”
Tennis stars, including those who shone at the All England club, have congratulated the pair on their engagement.
Aryna Sabalenka – who admitted she had a ‘hate relationship’ with Wimbledon after getting knocked out in the semi-finals – was amongst them.
Alongside a handful of love-heart eye emojis and starry-eyed emojis, she said: “Congratulations.”
Coco Gauff – who was knocked out in the first round at Wimbledon by Dayana Yastremska – commented too, echoing Sabalenka’s message.
Victoria Azarenka joined in, also commenting her congratulations.
The pair are understood to have been together for three years and have built up a fan base on social media in that time.
Lorenze was of course present for Paul’s matches at Wimbledon, posting numerous snaps from the stands while supporting her now-fiance.
Paul, who reached the quarter finals in SW19 last year, was knocked out in the second round this time round.
After beating Brit Johannus Monday in straight sets in the first round 6-4 6-4 6-2, Paul faced Sebastian Ofner in the second.
He won the first set 6-1, but his Austrian opponent came back with a vengeance, winning the next four sets beating him 7-5 6-4 7-5.
Paul has won a tournament on British soil though, winning the 2024 Queen’s Club Championship by beating Lorenzo Musetti 6-1 7-6 (10-8).
