Tommy Paul leaves Jannik Sinner without his underwear in bizarre depiction: "He's absolutely playing naked right now"
ATP
Tommy Paul will play Casper Ruud in the Quarter-Finals of the 2024 Indian Wells Open and with Jannik Sinner's superb form, he revealed a bizarre depiction that his trainer uses to describe form.
Paul said that his trainer leaves players without their underwear in describing how players are playing saying that they are playing naked and he said that Sinner is definitely doing just that at the moment. The Italian is currently sat at 15-0 this year and doesn't look likely to be beaten any time soon and while Novak Djokovic stalls, he thrives.

“He's been playing awesome tennis,” Paul said. “My fitness trainer taught me a term that they use in Argentina. When somebody is playing unbelievable, it means, like, they say they're playing naked, and he's absolutely playing naked right now. He's playing awesome tennis.”
He was also super impressed with Gael Monfils describing his own ailments even at 26. "It's impressive. I'm 26. My feet hurt to walk on,” Paul said. “I was talking about it this morning right before I went on, with Monfils, I didn't realize he was 37 years old, turning 38 this year. It's so impressive.“Obviously shows how much they take care of their body. I mean, that's what we're trying to do. You know, we have to take care of our body. I think it's something that we've all invested in, getting physios that are full-time with us on the road. It's a huge help for us to extend our careers to that age.”

mandoist08-11-2026 - Can't help but suspect Vukov is back to his old self again. Thank you, WTA. Perhaps you can give them a "Battling Couple of the Year Award 2026" ??
