A real match, a huge fight. Far from the image he was able to convey during the Covid-19 crisis, Benoit Paire fought, and more than that, to try to qualify for the 2nd round of Roland-Garros. The Frenchman, 149th in the world at the ATP, unfortunately missed a great feat on Monday by being eliminated by the British Cameron Norrie, seeded number 14, in five sets. A defeat 7-5, 4-6, 3-6, 6-1, 6-4 at the end of a fight in front of the court crowd Suzanne Lenglen in trance.
