As the Miami Open presented by Itaú unfolds in South Florida, Tommy Paul is making moves beyond the baseline.
The American star, known for his speed and competitiveness on court, has officially joined the Yellowfin family, with the brand’s logo now featured on his racquet bag throughout the tournament. But the partnership goes deeper than a typical endorsement — it reflects a lifestyle that begins once the matches are over.
When Paul steps away from the intensity of tour life, he heads to the water.
Based in South Florida during the Miami Open swing, Paul will be spending his downtime exploring the region’s coastal waters aboard his new Yellowfin 36 Offshore — a high-performance center console built for serious offshore fishing.

For Paul, an avid angler, the connection is natural.
“Some of my favorite hours are spent outside before sunrise,” he said. “I grew up working around the farm, tending to animals, and fishing. Those simple moments keep me grounded.”
That mindset — balancing high-performance sport with time outdoors — is what made the partnership a logical fit.
The Yellowfin 36 Offshore is designed with that same philosophy. Built for durability, speed, and long-range capability, the boat features an open deck layout tailored for fishing, along with a hull engineered to handle demanding offshore conditions with a smooth, controlled ride.
For a player navigating a packed ATP schedule, flexibility matters.
“To me, it’s about fishability, performance, and the freedom to explore without limits,” Paul said. “I wanted something that lets me fish the way I want, even when conditions are tough.”

That ability to maximize short windows of downtime — a reality for any touring pro — is central to the partnership.
Yellowfin CEO Thomas Wieners sees a clear alignment.
“Tommy embodies everything we value — commitment to excellence, a competitive edge, and a genuine love for being on the water,” Wieners said. “Our boats are built for people who demand the best, and Tommy lives that every day.”
As the Miami Open continues, Paul’s focus remains on the court. But once the final ball is struck, his version of recovery looks a little different — trading hard courts for open water, and match play for time offshore.
