Benoît Paire once again lives up to his reputation as a tennis bully. The Frenchman shows his worst side at the start of the tournament in Rome.
The world number 24 is having a bad day and it is almost proven by young Jannik Sinner (19). Frustration with Paire is growing. He swears, fights the referee and throws things around me, first with balls, then he throws his racket meters high.
It is not the good path of the 31-year-old, but it gets worse. After a break, he deliberately leaves the water bottle on the field and humiliates the ball boy forcing him to pick up the bottle, according to the tennis portal “Point of Break”. When the umpire tells him he can’t do that, Paire angrily throws the bottle off the field with his bat.
“One of the most embarrassing behaviors”
“One of the most shameful behaviors I have seen on a tennis court,” writes Poprtal editor-in-chief José Morón on Twitter.
Obviously Paire is going crazy. Give away many points, play totally unmotivated. When, on the second move, he finally went bankrupt, he served from below. That is allowed, but not welcome. His next action is then forbidden: he throws a serve to the field, although Sinner is not yet ready on the other side.
“Good training, I’m satisfied”
Paire does not want to see this in another dispute with the referee, he gets angry again. When Sinner pulls out the win, he hits the balls nonchalantly and with full force at the net. After 64 minutes, the ghost ends, the tennis bully falls with 2: 6, 1: 6.
Anyone hoping for information or words of apology at the subsequent press conference will be disappointed. «It was a good training session, I am happy to have trained for an hour and 4 minutes. I’m satisfied, ”says Paire sarcastically.
Scandal has announced
His emotional appearance is announced before the game. After he missed the US Open due to a positive corona test and was trapped in quarantine in a New York hotel room, Paire asks organizers in Rome not to be allowed to play until Tuesday.
When he learned he had to respond Monday, Paire indignantly tweeted: “What a shit show! Thanks, I had a question to have another day of training in New York. It’s not fair.”
