Taylor Fritz joins Tommy Paul at wedding week with Paige Lorenze in NYC

Taylor Fritz flew straight from Wimbledon’s grass to New York City this week to stand beside Tommy Paul as the American No. 1 serves as groomsman at Paul and Paige Lorenze’s wedding. Fritz, Frances Tiafoe and Reilly Opelka were all spotted in a playful grass-court clip posted online—shot with tennis rackets and a bottle of champagne—just days after the trio had been competing on the same turf at the All England Club.

What happened at the Paul–Lorenze wedding week?

The video shows Fritz, Tiafoe and Opelka playing bottle roulette on grass, a spirited tradition that ended with Fritz sprawled on the turf and Paul swinging left-handed. The clip, posted shortly after Wimbledon ended on 14 July 2026, gave fans their first glimpse of the groom’s pre-wedding festivities. Paul had already told reporters at Wimbledon that Lorenze would skip the tournament regardless of how deep he advanced, keeping the focus on their upcoming nuptials in the Big Apple.

Why it matters for Taylor Fritz

For Fritz, the weekend is a rare off-court moment with longtime friends who also happen to be top American pros. He, Paul and Opelka have been tight since junior days, so sharing a game of bottle roulette—tennis-style—fits their shared DNA. The clip also underscores how small the U.S. tennis fraternity can feel: Fritz and Tiafoe had just split a high-profile doubles match on Centre Court the week before, yet here they were laughing on camera together.

Who else is in the wedding mix?

Paul and Lorenze aren’t the only tennis couple tying the knot this summer. Katie Boulter and Alex de Minaur wed in a small English ceremony on the final day of Wimbledon—14 July 2026—just days before Paul’s New York event. Boulter’s grandfather, who is elderly, was able to attend the local rite, while a larger celebration is planned for next week. The double dose of tennis weddings has turned July 2026 into a marquee month for American and British players alike.

What comes next for Fritz?

Fritz’s next on-court stop is the ATP Masters 1000 in Toronto, where he’ll chase his second Masters title after a quarter-final run in 2025. Until then, he’s enjoying the rare chance to recharge off the road—even if it means swapping rackets for champagne bottles in New York.
