Benoit Paire is having a rough couple of weeks on and off the court. In his opening round at the Italian Open all of his frustration and anger came boiling out. The Frenchman is known for having a hot temper but even this was another level of madness.
For context, just a few weeks ago Paire retired from his opening Western and Southern Open match in New York against Borna Coric. He trailing 6-1, 1-0 and feeling unwell. A couple days later, he would test positive for COVID-19 and on the Sunday before the US Open began, he was withdrawn.
