PARIS — Tommy Paul was, of course, happy to be back to win his first round match at the French Open on Sunday, but perhaps not as excited as to discuss retrieving a truck that had returned to his Florida home when he accidentally missed some payments.<\/p>\n

Paul, seeded 12th, continued his track-in with clay court results at Roland Garros by eliminating Elmer Mueller, Denmark 6-7 (5), 6-2, 6-3 and 6-1.<\/p>\n

The 2023 Australian Open semi-finalists explained that his vehicle adventures that occurred while reaching the semi-finals at the Italian Open earlier this month forgot to properly adjust the banking changes and auto-payments for his Ford F-150.<\/p>\n

“I think it was like three payments. They came and took it. I didn’t know that it happened. I didn’t know how quickly they came and grabbed it – like midnight,” Paul said. “Now I’m watching all these ‘repo’ shows. They had the truck in at 1am and it’s definitely an interesting experience.<\/p>\n

He discovers that the truck was gone when a trainer returned to Florida asked Paul to check security camera footage and see if it was delivered to his home and needed to pick it up.<\/p>\n

To his surprise, he said on Sunday, “There were no packages – there were no trucks either.”<\/p>\n

As he scrolled through the video, the 28-year-old American, who grew up in New Jersey, saw what happened.<\/p>\n

“I thought it was stolen at first, ‘What the heck is going on? I brought my car and the tow truck is coming!”<\/p>\n

When he realized that, Paul took him to social media, pulling black and white footage of his fortune from his driveway, adding the soundtrack for Celine Dion’s “My Heart Follows.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
