And Paul, 27, shared a touching moment with influencer wag Paige Lorenze after his triumph.
Stunning Lorenze, 26, has over 600,000 followers on Instagram and has founded several brands.
Paul follows fellow Yanks Jimmy Connors, John McEnroe, Pete Sampras and Andy Roddick with this success at Baron’s Court.
The new American No1 said: “This means everything. Going through the hallways and the locker rooms, the names that are up there, it’s unbelievable.
“It was always my goal to put my name next to them.
“My coach is the one who turned me into a little bit of a tennis historian.
“Thanks also to my whole team. Thanks for grabbing a shirt for me – because I only came out here with one shirt.
“Lorenzo had a good week and has been playing some awesome tennis. I’m happy to get the win.

“It was nervy to close out the match. It got tricky at the end. This is the perfect way to go to Wimbledon.”
Paul will now look to carry this momentum into Wimbledon, where he has never made it past the fourth round.
And Lorenze should be right at home in the glamorous surroundings of SW19.
Andy Murray is plotting a miracle Wimbledon comeback after undergoing spinal surgery on Saturday.
The tennis legend, 37, is hoping to be fit for the Championships, which start on Monday July 1, despite having a cyst removed.
Murray is weighing up his options and praying that his body responds well to the op, which was deemed a success by medics.
The plan would be to play in singles combat and as it stands, Murray remains in the main draw, which will take place at the All England Club at 10am on Friday morning.
