Wimbledon does not forgive Benoit Paire: First bad reaction and anger from the public

In the third set, 5-0 down and 30-0 against, the chair umpire, Mohamed Lahyani, reprimanded him for unsportsmanlike conduct and lack of competitiveness. The tennis player’s response was to request the presence of the physiotherapist, something that the chair umpire denied.

The public’s response to the new Paire incident was unanimous and booed the wayward French tennis player, reproaching him for his attitude. Even a fan yelled at him to finish the game because he was wasting everyone’s time.

The match had to be suspended due to lack of light and in the resumption, Benoit Paire received a ‘donut’ in the third set (6-3, 6-4 and 6-0). Schwartzman, who left with the first two sets in his pocket the day before, crushed Paire in the third, giving up just five points.

The Buenosairean broke the Frenchman’s serve three times and agreed to the second round, where Liam Broady is already waiting for him. The Briton, invited by the organization, defeated Italian Marco Cecchinato (6-3, 6-4 and 6-0) and will face Schawrtzman for the first time.
