The weeks follow one another and are similar for Benoît Paire. Engaged in the Madrid Challenger this week, the 34-year-old was eliminated in the first round against the Spaniard Oriol Roca Batalla (4-6, 6-3, 4-2). The Frenchman even threw in the towel in the third set, after giving in his throw.
Formerly 18th in the world, the Avignonnais wanders in 139th place in the world and seems more than ever very far from his best level. In 2024, the Habs have an unflattering record of 6 victories for 11 defeats. Above all, Paire only won one match on the main circuit.
“Next tournament: Bordeaux or Roland-Garros”
On X (ex-Twitter), Benoît Paire expressed his mental wear and tear. Not the first time. “Next tournament Bordeaux or Roland-Garros, or even later depending on my mind… Need to breathe because tennis is destroying me little by little…”
