at Wimbledon, Benoît Paire is still doing his own …

Led two rounds to nothing by the Argentine on Monday night, before the interruption due to the darkness, Benoît Paire had kept a low profile on the court. Change of scenery this Tuesday where the now 46^e world has put on its worst face. The Frenchman scored only five points on the whole of the third set lost 6-0 in sixteen minutes and could not bear that the Swede Mohammed Layhani, inflicts a warning on him in the last game, for lack of combativeness. “Do you want to play this? So call the healer ”, threatened Pair. “There’s not even fun in fact, he moaned in his chair. I just came to take the money. There I just want there to be 6–0 and I’ll go home ”.

Feigning an injury, the number 4 tricolor finally returned to the court, the time to balance the last two points. “I take a warning for non-combativeness because it is 5-0, 30-0 in the third set and that it’s only been fifteen minutes that we play, he then told BeIN Sports. I have the right to miss two returns in a row. I missed it at much more important times in my career. I think it’s ridiculous, it messes up a bit on the court when nothing happens, there was no problem.»

We are being put in bubbles while everyone (in London) is outside in bars drinking shots, no one is wearing a mask outside, there are spectators talking to me. centimeter and that they do not have a mask …

Benoît Pair

In 2021, Benoît Paire, it is two victories for eighteen defeats and a permanent malaise. If his attitude on the court is indefensible, his rants sometimes ring true: “They put me from bubble to bubble and I always said that these conditions were complicated for me. As long as it’s like this, I do my best, I do what I can. It’s inconsistent. We are being put in bubbles while everyone (in London) is outside in bars drinking shots, no one is wearing a mask outside, there are spectators talking to me. centimeter and they don’t have a mask … They can give me the covid, but we are in a special bubble! These rules, I don’t understand them“. And the London public, for its part, did not understand his lamentable attitude on the court.
