French tennis player Benoit Paire has been on the men’s Tour for a considerable amount of time. He played his first ATP tournament in 2008 at the Open 13 held in Marseille. However, it took him a considerable amount of time to win his first title on the ATP Tour, and he won one at the Swedish Open 2015.
Recently, Benoit Paire did a question-and-answer session with his followers through his Instagram stories. The Frenchman answered questions on various topics, but there was one question that stood out. One of his followers asked him if he still remains as excited to play the sport that he is best known for.
