Review: Plenty to be excited about in TopSpin 2K25, which successfully recreates the joy (and frustration) of tennis

There's never a dull moment when Benoit Paire is on court. The flashy Frenchman was facing compatriot Richard Gasquet in the first round of Basel. On the ropes, he went for a desperate diving volley, and managed to even hit a second ball back from the ground.

Still, Paire dropped the point, and the match, 6-3, 4-6, 6-4. Paire wasn't the only Frenchman showing off his tricks in Paris.

Pierre-Hugues Herbert ripped an insane tweener passing shot against Feliciano Lopez on Tuesday.

But just like with Paire, the style points wouldn't be enough, and he would lose, 7-6 (4), 6-3.
