Left to play South American tournaments, to enjoy the sun, Benoît Paire lost his taste for tennis.
Sulphurous on the courts and party animal in the life he posts on social networks, Benoît Paire is a treat for tennis fans. But the 31-year-old doesn’t like what his job has become due to Covid restrictions. The Avignon resident, at first delighted to continue his season in South America, to descend beers in the sun, only spent one tour in Cordoba and was then ejected from entering Buenos Aires and then to Santiago de Chile. .
A “sad, boring and ridiculous” ATP circuit
In the aftermath of his elimination against the 17-year-old Dane Holger Rune, Paire confided his unhappiness in an Instagram post: ” I will talk about the circuit ATP which has become sad, boring and ridiculous… I know, you are going to say: you don’t realize how lucky you are, blah blah, but playing in closed stadiums without any atmosphere, that’s not why I play tennis. Having to stay either at the hotel or at the tennis club and being forbidden to go out on pain of exclusion and a fine, where is the pleasure of traveling? For me, playing tennis has become a bland profession… So yes, it takes me a while to adapt to this pseudo-ATP circuit, but I will make the effort to try to find just the pleasure of playing tennis. ».
Benoît Paire will go up the American continent and his only objective will be ” just to have a smile on the field and enjoy kicking a ball »During the last two tournaments registered in its program, on the side of Acapulco next week, then during the Masters 1000 of Miami scheduled in stride. ” That I win, yes. That I lose, I really don’t care “, Wishes to specify the 29th world. We don’t expect more from him.
