Mentioning how her addition in the picture seemed to go beyond the expected limits, they added, “Looks like she wants to be the main focus of the picture?”

The rage was all about the way Paige Lorenze had her arms around Tommy Paul as the two also kept fidgeting. Lorenze switched her sight between her boyfriend’s face and the camera many times. “I’ve never seen such an awkward photo opportunity after a tennis tournament win in my life,” another fan wrote.
