Tommy Paul delivered an unforgettable performance in the second round of the French Open, rallying from two sets down to defeat Marton Fucsovics 4-6, 2-6, 6-3, 7-5, 6-4. The American, ranked No. 12, showcased his resilience and fighting spirit, proving once again that he thrives in high-pressure situations.

Paul admitted after the match that he enjoys the challenge of coming back from a two-set deficit, describing it as something that fuels his competitive fire. His ability to adjust his strategy and maintain composure allowed him to turn the match around, despite facing a determined opponent.

However, the victory came at a cost, as Paul suffered an abdominal injury during the match. He acknowledged the discomfort but assured reporters that he intends to compete in his third-round clash against Karen Khachanov. The extent of his injury remains uncertain, raising questions about whether he will be able to perform at his best.
