By dint of chaining defeats, escapades and abandonments, Benoît Paire was bound to end up paying for it. This week in Atlanta, he is simply playing his survival in the top 100. If he does not reach the quarter-finals of the American ATP 250, he will come out of it for the first time since March 2015!
And apparently, the Avignonnais was not even aware of it until Tuesday, the day of his entry into the running once morest the atypical and formidable Jenson Brooksby (43e world).
“Ah shit, I hadn’t looked at the rankings for a long time! I’ll have to play once more then.”wrote Benoît on Twitter.
Surge of pride expected.
