Tommy Paul critical of grunt from Dellien in Norrie defeat: “Thought this was a joke”

Tommy Paul condemned Hugo Dellien's grunt during his match against Cameron Norrie at the Rio Open.

Although the 25-year-old American didn’t compete this week, he kept an eye on the latest tennis news. This time, he took to social media to share a clip of the Norrie vs. Dellien quarterfinal match.

Tennis TV posted one of the match's key moments on Instagram, which was a rally won by the European player that gave him the match point and led to his victory. However, it was not the players' performance that caught Paul's attention, but rather the grunting sounds made by the Bolivian player, which he described as a "joke."

Paul's most recent appearance was last week at the Delray Beach Open, where he lost 6-2, 6-2 to Radu Albot. This week, he will make his debut at the Mexico Open against Ecuadorian player Emilio Gómez.
