- Paige Lorenze has shown off her and Tommy Paul’s home during Wimbledon
- The lifestyle influencer posted a vlog showing around where they will stay
- Tennis stars will pay thousands on Airbnb’s over the next couple of weeks
Tommy Paul’s influencer girlfriend, Paige Lorenze has given fans an inside look at the type of accommodation some Wimbledon players will be living in throughout the competition.
Wimbledon gets underway on Monday and many tennis players will be renting homes so they can stay as close as they can to the All England Lawn Tennis Club for the next two to three weeks – to aid them in their quest for glory in the biggest tennis event of the year.
The Daily Mail reported in 2022 that tennis stars are potentially looking at a weekly rent of £1,700 for a small apartment and £16,000 for a five-bedroom house.
Lorenze, who caught the headlines after Paul’s victory at the Queen’s Club Championships last week, has posted a blog of the couple arriving at their temporary Airbnb home near Wimbledon Village, which they will pay thousands for.
American Paul is ranked no 12 in the world and will be hoping to make it to the latter stages of the tournament – even if it means he needs to fork out more to stay in Wimbledon.
Lorenze appeared excited upon arriving at their temporary home, as she said in the vlog: ‘The house is really great there is also a pizza oven which is really exciting we just need to get gas for it.’
The pizza oven is just one of many things that they can look forward to during their time at the house.
Paul appeared excited by the house having a grill in the garden, which is also seen to have a large sitting area at the back on top of a wooden patio, so they can enjoy the sun.
The garden also has a basketball hoop, and the pair are seen having a go, something that can keep Paul active when he’s at home and not playing or practising on the tennis courts.
The accommodation has at least three floors, and appears to have a massive amount of space no matter what room they are in.
A large hallway leads to an open kitchen, which has book shelves under the kitchen counter which is big enough for them to prepare their meals.
They are based in the heart of Wimbledon Village, as the vlog shows them walking to the shops and buying ingredients for a pasta dish to enjoy on their first night at the home.
The size of the living room is large enough to make most people jealous and has plenty of stuff in there to keep them occupied.
There is a football table, a keyboard, large speakers and a wall-mounted television, with Lorenze saying the pair will watch a documentary on the career of tennis icon Roger Federer – who himself would certainly have stayed in even more lavish accommodation throughout Wimbledon.
There is a large bathroom and also some unique features around the house, with plenty of artwork hanging on the walls and a huge array of random items on the many shelves inside the living room.
Lorenze promised to show off more of the home in her next vlog due some point this coming week.
Letting out a house in the vicinity of a top event is a bigger business now than ever before.
Tennis London finds the best private accommodation for players to rent during the championships.
Joanna Doniger has been organising Wimbledon accommodation for players, media and sponsors since 1993.
The world’s top tennis players want exclusive accommodation and many say they enjoy Wimbledon because they get to use large houses with privacy, space for family and security staff, and features as good as they have in their own homes.
‘The owners move out and players move in for two or three weeks,’ says Doniger.
‘My clients want a full service structure, so if anything goes wrong or they can’t work something they get attention 24/7. They rely on me to sort problems quickly and efficiently.’
Even if your house does not run to the standards required by Rafael Nadal, you can still rent out to the hundreds of ground staff, hospitality workers, drivers and security personnel employed on site during the Wimbledon fortnight.
Nadal is known to stay at places which can put up him and coaches during Wimbledon.
Novak Djokovic has shown little off where he has stayed in the past, though his 2022 accommodation possessed a family-size trampoline.
Lorenze is a fashion and lifestyle influencer, who has spent years cultivating a following of more than 600,000 people on Instagram.
To sport fans, however, she’s better known as the glamorous girlfriend of tennis pro Tommy Paul, who is the top ranked American player after his win at the Queen’s Club Championship.
Lorenze, who was a successful athlete in her early years, splits her time between New York City and a charming home in Connecticut when she isn’t with Paul traveling the world on the ATP tour.
The pair met during the 2022 US Open and throughout the first year of their relationship, she joined him at tournaments around the world and continued building her personal brand.
‘I really poured my time into my business and I now have two horses, I live in a beautiful house, and I have an amazing boyfriend. I’m fulfilling all of my dreams,’ she said, ahead of the couple’s first anniversary last year.
However, the WAG made headlines for the wrong reasons after Paul bested Lorenzo Musetti to win the Queen’s Club Championships.
Fans of the tennis pro launched into a tirade when Lorenze broke the norm by joining her boyfriend on the court for a photo opportunity with the trophy.
A clip of their awkward photoshoot went viral as the influencer was seen repeatedly grabbing her boyfriend by the nape of his neck while he stood stiffly in front of the cameras.
Lorenze also appeared to give instructions to a photographer before the video cut off.
However, in her recent YouTube vlog, Lorenze and Paul humorously addressed the ‘claw’ remarks.
She playfully clutched his neck and face, and they both gestured jokingly towards the camera with their hands mimicking claws.
Lorenze continued to make light of the situation with her comment in response to one post praising her reaction, as she quipped: ‘Live laugh love claw.’
She was previously in relationships with actor Armie Hammer and singer Morgan Wallen.
Following his triumph, Lorenze took to Instagram to share a rare snapshot with her other half, flaunting the trophy and posing with it at her feet to her 629,000 followers. Alongside the images, she wrote: ‘Love celebrating your hard-earned victory alongside you @tommypaull. I am so proud of you, and grateful to be by your side through every win and challenge. here’s to many more! I love you!’
