Another defeat, one more for Benoît Paire, who has won only one game this season out of the ten he has played… And unsurprisingly, at a press conference, he did not make the difference.
Tennis behind closed doors, he doesn't like, but then not at all:
"
I really don't give a fuck about this game.
Arriving in cemeteries like this depresses me a bit.
We say to ourselves it's Monte Carlo and we arrive, it's empty, an atmosphere of rarely seen sadness.
Tennis doesn't help me any more, when you see the conditions.
It's absolutely sad when it's usually the best tournament in the world.

One question persists.
Why continue?
Money, always money.
: “I took twelve thousand bullets!
You're going to say he's still talking a lot of money.
I took 12,000 euros to be in the quiet hotel.
Then I go home. "
Cynical words but which at least have the merit of frankness.
“A direct foul or a winning shot is the same thing.
Zero atmosphere, nothing is happening.

Very good.
Me, normal life, I think it sucks right now.
The only moment of happiness is when I am at home, that I do not put on my mask, and there I feel happy. ”
