American tennis star Tommy Paul left the Paris Olympic Games with a bronze medal in men's doubles, and later spoke on how he remained motivated in his quest to proudly represent his home nation.
Teaming with compatriot Taylor Fritz, the pair played some exceptional tennis to reach the semifinals of the Olympics. They were responsible for retiring three-time Grand Slam champion Andy Murray, who partnered with Dan Evans in his final professional tennis event. After defeating the British duo, Paul and Fritz fell in the semifinals but overcame Czech duo Tomas Machac and Adam Pavlasek to win the bronze medal.
