Tommy Paul has endured a difficult 2025 season on the ATP Tour after suffering physical issues throughout the year.
The American, ranked 20th in the world, first dealt with physical problems at the French Open, where he suffered an abdominal strain.
After recovering in time for Wimbledon, Paul suffered another injury during his second round match at SW19, where he ruptured a tendon in his foot.
The American returned to the Tour in Cincinnati, where he was defeated in the second round by ATP veteran Adrian Mannarino.
It seemed that Paul would be back on Tour for the foreseeable future. However, he suffered yet another injury setback during his third-round loss to Alexander Bublik at the US Open.
This loss marked the end of Paul’s season.
Hopefully, the American will be able to bounce back from his injury struggles in 2026.
