Tommy, ranked world No. 18, expressed his excitement about the wedding day and shared insights about the planning process. He revealed to PEOPLE that he had one essential request for the occasion: Miller Lite beer. He noted that this was his only absolute necessity when it came to the wedding preparations, underscoring his desire to keep the celebration relaxed and enjoyable.
Reflecting on the lead-up to the ceremony, Tommy admitted that while he was relatively calm in the days before, nerves crept in on the morning of the wedding. “All the nerves set in,” he explained, stating that he simply wanted everything to be perfect. However, once the festivities began, he found the atmosphere to be “super fun and easy.”
The wedding included a number of close friends and family members, including fellow tennis players Reilly Opelka, Taylor Fritz, and Frances Tiafoe. Tommy recalled a particularly amusing moment during the reception when Tiafoe lost his shirt within minutes of dinner, highlighting the light-hearted spirit of the celebration.
Tommy and Paige’s relationship began during the 2022 US Open when they met after he invited her to watch his matches. The pair’s initial connection was partly facilitated through social media, as Paige revealed in an interview with Vogue that Tommy had engaged with her Instagram posts prior to their official meeting. Taking the initiative, she decided to message him, leading to their blossoming romance.
In sharing the story of their early days, Tommy noted that he had initially hesitated to invite Paige to his first US Open match since he had yet to secure a win. After achieving victory in his first round, he felt more confident about bringing her along to watch him compete. This early support from Paige has played a significant role in his career, as he credits her for being his “No. 1 supporter.”
Both Tommy and Paige have become each other’s pillars of strength. The tennis player praised his wife for providing emotional support, particularly in the aftermath of both victories and losses. He described Paige’s approach to helping him process his performances, stating, “She can be tough on me after losses in terms of getting me out of my own head.” He added that her perspective is valuable as it focuses on his mental well-being rather than merely the results of matches.
Tommy reflected on the importance of having a supportive network around him, which includes Paige, his family, and his team. He articulated this sentiment, saying, “It’s comforting to know that no matter what happens in my matches, I have good people around me.”
As the newlyweds look forward to their future together, Tommy is also gearing up for the upcoming Japan Open, where he is set to face Chile’s Alejandro Tabilo in the first round. The success of both his personal and professional life appears to be closely intertwined, with Paige being an integral part of his journey.
As their marriage unfolds, both Tommy and Paige seem well-equipped to tackle the challenges and triumphs that lie ahead, buoyed by the strong bond they share and the unwavering support they offer each other.
