At the Rome Masters ATP tournament there was a scandal when tennis professional Benoit Paire first cursed the tournament management and then made a scandalous, listless appearance.
The French tennis professional
Benoit Paire
was unable to
attend
the US Open due to a
corona infection
*.
Instead, he competed in an ATP tournament in Italy and made a
scandalous appearance
.
Among other things, he tried
to humiliate
a
ball boy
with an action.
In addition to the overwhelming number of well-informed professionals, there are also a
few hotheads
who repeatedly
attract
attention on the court
with their inappropriate
behavior
.
One of them is Frenchman
Benoit Paire
, currently number 23 in the world.
At a tournament in Italy Paire could hardly contain himself during a match against the Italian Jannik Sinner and caused a
scandal
with several gestures and actions
.
Scandalous appearance by Benoit Paire: Violent accusation against tournament management on Twitter
It all started before the
US Open
* when the Frenchman received a positive result for the
corona virus
*, which prevented his participation in the Grand Slam tournament *.
The professional then came into
quarantine
, which he had to spend in a hotel; his room is said to
have been
too small
according to his own statement
.
After several days of isolation, Paire traveled to the tournament in Rome, where, given his limited
preparation time
, he asked the tournament management whether he could not
play
on
Tuesday
instead of Monday
.
But his request was
denied
, whereupon Paire went into a defiant phase lasting several days.
On
Sunday he rumbled heavily against the tournament management
on
: “A
shitty approach
!
Thank you, @InteBNLdItalia (Twitter appearance of the Masters tournament, ed.).
I only made one request, and that was
to play
on
Tuesday
so that I could train one more day after what happened to me in New York.
And after I play against an Italian, you put me on Monday. ”Of course, Paire didn't do without hashtags * and added the keywords #super #BRAVO #goodjob and #notfair to his tweet.
PROGRAMMATION DE MERDE !!!
Merci @InteBNLdItalia 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 J'ai fait une seule demande c est de jouer mardi pour avoir un jour de plus d'entraînement avec ce qu'il m'est arrivé à NEW YORK et comme je joue un Italy vous me mettez Lundi !!
#super #BRAVO @atptour 👍🏼 # goodjob #notfair

Benoit Paire causes a scandal: listless appearance against local hero - the referee is also tackled
Pair's pent-up anger finally discharged in the
first-round match of
the ATP tournament at the Stadio Pietrangeli in the Italian capital.
After just an hour the game was over, with
2: 6 and 1: 6
Paire embarrassed himself against Sinner after a choleric appearance.
The three-time ATP tournament winner lived up to his reputation as a
scandal player
on Monday.
In the Italian's last service game, Paire
deliberately
played the returns
over the court or heaved them into the net and acted emphatically
without drive
, and the 31-year-old made no great effort to move.
On top of that, he also
messed
with the
referee
and threw balls and his bat around him.
Riots at Rome Masters: Benoit Paire wants to humiliate ball boys - but the referee intervenes
The absolute
low point
sat Paire when he a
Bottle
deliberately left behind on the tennis court, so they probably one of the
ball boys
should lift.
The tennis portal
Punto de Break
first reported on the humiliating gesture
.
The referee admonished Paire as a result, whereupon he shot the bottle with his
bat
out of the court.
À Rome, Benoît Paire a fait sa Cinecittà, normal.

He then gave a clarifying
interview
in which he sarcastically summed up his performance: “I didn't play for ten days, I was only allowed to be in my room.
So it was a
good workout
.
I'm happy to have played an hour, ”said the 31-year-old professional.
