A third five-setter in a row? Bring it on, says marathon man Tommy Paul
PARIS :American 12th-seed Tommy Paul has already played 14 sets and more than 10 hours of tennis in just three rounds at the French Open but he is ready for another five-setter, he said on Friday after beating Karen Khachanov in a marathon match. His third round 6-3 3-6 7-6(7) 3-6 6-3 win over the Russian on Friday lasted a gruelling four hours and seven minutes on a hot and sunny day, but the world number 12 is ready for more, having reached round four for the first time in Paris. It came after another five-set match in round two following four sets in the opener. "If I have to play five sets again in the next match, I'll do it," Paul told a press conference. It's definitely harder than winning straight-set matches." "But, I don't know, I feel like that's what we train for. Definitely happy to get through in any way, whether it's five sets." A junior champion in Paris 10 years ago, Paul is no stranger to the Parisian clay. He will next face Australia's 25th-seed Alexei Popyrin for a spot in the quarter-finals. "Obviously your body gets worn down and tired, but you got to push through it. It's a Grand Slam," Paul said. "I mean, your mind drives everything. When your mind goes, sometimes your body can go too. That's the most important thing, to stay locked in. "Tell yourself to keep going, whatever ticks some people have to keep themselves moving forward and in a positive mindset. Everyone is different. That plays a huge role in playing long matches or playing slams in general," he said.

French Open 2025: Tommy Paul overcomes another grueling match, beats Karen Khachanov to advance to fourth round
Tommy Paul will make it to the fourth round of the 2025 French Open after a grueling match against Karen Khachanov. (Photo by) It hasn't been easy, but Tommy Paul is still in the French Open. The American overcame yet another grueling match Friday in a narrow win over Karen Khachanov in the third round. Paul had previously gotten off to slow starts throughout the event, but that wasn't the case Friday. After dropping the first set in his previous two matches, Paul came out victories this time around, beating Khachanov 6-3 to pick up an early lead. While it was a promising start for Paul, it wouldn't last, Khachanov battled back in the second set, taking it 6-3 to even the score. Advertisement The third set proved to be exhausting. Both men battled back and forth, eventually forcing a tiebreak. It took Paul nine points, but he won that tiebreak, taking the third set. With Paul one set away from closing it out, Khachanov fought his back once again, winning 6-3 and forcing a fifth set. Paul finally seemed to find his stride, going up 4-0 to open the final set. Some cracks started to show at that point, and Khachanov threatened to get back into it, but Paul eventually closed it out, winning the final set 6-3 and taking the match. The win marked the second straight match in which Paul has gone the distance against what was supposed to be a lesser opponent. Paul needed five sets to take down Marton Fucsovics in the second round of the event. Fucsovics came into the 2025 French Open as the No. 125 men's player. Khachanov entered the event ranked No. 24, and was clearly a step up in quality for Paul. Advertisement Paul entered the 2025 French Open as the second-highest ranked American men's player, behind Taylor Fritz, who was surprisingly eliminated in the first round. That left Paul as the top American men's player remaining in the competition. While he's had a harder time than expected, Paul kept the United States' hopes alive with a narrow win over Khachanov on Friday. With the victory, Paul will take on Australian Alexei Popyrin in the fourth round Sunday. Popyrin entered the event ranked No. 25 among the men, and should provide yet another tough challenge as Paul looks to advance to the quarterfinals at the French Open for the second time in his career.
