Benoit Paire has been a very, very busy man. Monday marked the 22nd week of the calendar year and the globetrotting Frenchman had already played a mind-boggling 19 events, including three ATP Challengers.
Paire is not considered an ironman by any means, but the world No. 38 has taken just one week off the entire year, enjoying some much needed rest after capturing his first ATP title of the year in Marrakech in April. The world No. 38 maintained momentum by winning his second title of the year, in Lyon, just a few days before the start of Roland Garros. Nine of his 19 events were opening-round losses.
