Benoit Paire's career has been so particular that it could lead some directors to make a movie to tell it.

Gifted with a truly remarkable talent, the French ace has never had that passion for tennis that pushes you to make important sacrifices or even the dedication to work that allows you to go beyond your limits.
The 2013 Rome Masters 1000 semifinalist has settled for a good career at the professional level, in which he has shown only flashes of his enormous potential and struggling tremendously to be consistent.
It is no mystery that Benoit's lifestyle has never been the most suitable for a professional athlete, but we are sure that he will have no regrets at the end of his career because he has always wanted to enjoy life and cultivate his passions outside of tennis.
Despite currently being a long way from the top positions of the ATP ranking having sunk to number 516 Paire is not considering yet the idea of retirement and wants to continue to have fun even in second-tier tournaments.

The French is forced to play Challenger tournaments at this stage of his career and sometimes receives some wild cards from the organizers of ATP tournaments, a limbo from which he is unlikely to get out at almost 36 years old.
Paire continues to surprise
Meanwhile, the former Top 20 announced that the launch of hisnew beer brand called 'Apairo'.
"I have to admit that we are a bit late and that there have been some hitches, but the sale of the product will start in April. I am really happy to be personally involved in this project," said Paire.
Many fans and insiders wonder why the French veteran continues to play at such a low level by his standards, considering that he has always had a love-hate relationship with tennis.
He explained the reason himself in a recent interview: "When I'm free from injuries, I'm still able to do great things on court."
