Tommy Paul will be officially representing the Stars and Stripes later this month in Paris for the second time - but that's nothing new for him.

Paul is a one-time Olympian (he was ousted in the first round back in 2021 in Tokyo), but after a Wimbledon quarterfinal appearance earlier this month, he likes his chances this time around.

"I'm so excited. The last time, I didn't go into the Olympics super prepared. I was coming off an injury, so I'm looking at it like the last time I went to be an Olympian - this time, I'm trying to bring back a medal," Paul said in a recent interview with Fox News Digital.

It's quite a busy schedule for Paul, who was in England earlier this month. He will be in Paris next week, and then will take a fight back to the States for a potential U.S. Open victory on his home soil.

It's exhausting, but it's nothing 200 milligrams of caffeine from a CELSIUS energy drink can't fix.

"I've enjoyed the product forever. As a professional athlete, we like to know what goes into our body. No sugar, essential vitamins, it's all very important for us," Paul says. "For me, the amount of travel that we do, the amount of jet lag that we have to deal with, I pretty much start every day with a can of CELSIUS, and it just gets me going to start the day."

Sure, if he wins gold in Paris, it'd be the first time Paul would hear the national anthem after a victory in an individual setting. Again, this is where he officially represents his United States.

But with tennis being an individual sport around the glove, he feels that he is representing the red, white, and blue every time he's between the lines.

"Since I was in junior tennis, it kind of gets drilled into you, being an American tennis player. We have such a great history in tennis with so many champions… I think we show up for these tournaments not just prepping myself, but the whole country. I really enjoy that," Paul says. "And then, when you go to these team events, you get a little extra motivation. It's a feel-good moment when you're walking on the court with the American flag on your shoulders."

The sport, though, is desperate for an American champion on the men's side. The last American man to win a grand slam was Andy Roddick at the 2003 U.S. Open. There was a time when Americans dominated with Andre Agassi and Pete Sampras in the 1990s and 2000s, and John McEnroe and Jimmy Connors beforehand.

Paul (ranked 13th), Taylor Fritz (11th), Ben Shelton (14th), and Frances Tiafoe (30th) are America's best chance, and Paul knows there's pressure - "but it's a good pressure."

"You want that pressure to be on you. You're heading in the right direction, and people put their hope into you. That's exactly what you want. I want it for me, and I want it for the fans. We want to be at the top of the game, and the U.S. has been looking for a champion for the better part of two decades. It's a driving force and big motivator for all of us American tennis players."

Thomas Matthew Crooks apparently teased an attack online days before he climbed onto a roof and opened fire at a Pennsylvania campaign rally, killing one and injuring others, including former President Donald Trump, Fox News has learned.

Secret Service and FBI officials told U.S. senators during an all-members briefing on Wednesday, July 17, that Crooks, 20, wrote a threatening message on the gaming platform "Steam" days before the attempted assassination in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13, Fox News’ Jacqui Heinrich reported.

According to the officials, Crooks allegedly wrote: "July 13 will be my premiere, watch as it unfolds."

"Steam" is a popular platform where tens of millions of gamers purchase games and communicate. The discovery was made as investigators continue to review Crooks’ technological devices, including his cell phones and laptop.

When investigators reviewed the laptop, they found a few searches in July of: Trump, Biden, when is the DNC convention, and the July 13 Trump rally, America’s top security officials told the senators on Wednesday.

The investigators found no evidence of a particular ideology on the laptop, which the FBI believes is notable, and nobody in interviews reported Crooks discussing politics, according to senators who spoke with Fox News after the meeting.

The senators also learned that the suspect had two cell phones. The primary phone was recovered from the scene along with a remote transmitter.

A second cell phone found at the home had only 27 contacts. The FBI is in the process of tracking down and interviewing those people, they told the senators.

The development comes just hours after it was learned Crooks' parents contacted law enforcement on Saturday hours before the attempted assassination.

The would-be assassin's mother and father told local police that Crooks was missing and that they were concerned about his welfare, a source told Fox News.

It remained unclear if they knew that he was in possession of an AR-15 rifle that belonged to his father.
