At first glance, it is not easy to find a point in common between Benoît Paire and Woody Allen.
In recent weeks, however, the Habs have embarked on a sad remake of "Take the sorrel and shoot yourself".
The Avignon player goes quickly by the wayside and just as quickly to the cash register and rounds up his weekends of defeats in the first round.
This Sunday afternoon, the world No. 33 conceded his sixth loss in a row, this time against the Australian Thompson (6-4, 6-7, 7-6), at the Masters 1000 in Monte Carlo.
It is not, however, for lack of trying for more than three hours, but when it doesn't want it, it doesn't.
Like this double fault to conclude on a Central desert because of health restrictions.
"I'm just miserable when I'm on the court"
Paire can no longer bear to play in these conditions, but perfectly assumes to do the rounds of checks instead of taking a step back and resting.
"I don't give a damn about this match," he says in his beard provided.
I still have a double here and then I break home, two hours away.
Coming to cemeteries like this depresses me.
We say to ourselves
it's Monte Carlo
and we arrive, it's empty, an atmosphere of rarely seen sadness.
I'm just miserable when I'm on the court.
The circuit has become rotten.
But I took 12,000 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.
It's perfect… "
People: Benoît Paire must be sanctioned.

Paire, however, knew what to expect and the setting for the next tournaments will not necessarily be more festive (but also remunerative).
“For the dead tennis rats, for sure it's great to come here;
he continues.
It's like they're training.
At some point, if you've known the circuit, if you know Monte Carlo and you see what it is like, you want to throw yourself away.
You're all going to say it's like normal life.
Me, normal life, I think it sucks right now.
And the circuit, the same.
The only moment of happiness is when I am at home, when I do not put on my mask, and there I feel happy.
So why not consider staying there?
