The match saw Alcaraz coming back after being two sets down in the finals to win in five sets and script an epic title defense. Several top players, such as the King of Clay, Rafael Nadal himself, have shared their admiration towards the performance put up by these two young players.

Speaking about the match in a recent interview, Paul expressed his admiration for Alcaraz and Sinner. The 2024 Olympics bronze medalist also claimed that several players on the tour have to level up their game to reach the levels showcased by the Spaniard and the Italian. Paul said (via Tennis.com):

"We all know what it was, amazing to watch and I mean I love both of these guys, love watching both of these guys. I mean they're obviously leading the way in our sport right now. I hear a lot of people talk about, it just takes like putting together two weeks to win a slam. I think right now, there's a lot of people need to pick up the level to keep up with these guys."

Notably, Tommy Paul also faced Alcaraz at the 2025 French Open quarterfinal, where he suffered a straight-set defeat against the Spaniard. The American also faced a semifinal defeat against Sinner during their clash at the Italian Open in May.

However, Paul has bounced back with a first-round Wimbledon victory over Johannus Monday. He won the contest in three straight sets (6-4, 6-4, 6-2) to set up a match against Sebastian Ofner in the subsequent round.
