“Going through the hallways here in the locker room and the names on the wall, it’s unbelievable,” Paul said. “It was my goal always to put my name next to them.”
Paige Lorenze, Paul’s girlfriend, caught the eye of social media as the tennis star celebrated his victory. Fans appeared to be put off by how Lorenze had her hand around her boyfriend’s neck as they posed for photos on the grass court.
