Sad day for the sport.

:worship: :clap2:

First ATP title without losing a set, beating seeds n° 1, 2 and 3, amazing. A focus and motivated Paire is easily top 20.

 

[PerfectAce753]

Wonderful result! Paire wins his first title and is now firmly back inside the top 50.

Sad day for the sport.

:facepalm: yeah, Boredo losing to Paire is obviously a sad day for the sport.

 

[Action Jackson]

Great result

Beating the top 3 seeds to win title #1, some high quality serving towards the end of the match, top class drop shot on set point in the tiebreak, too good Benoit :worship:

 

[Claybot]

So happy right now :sobbing:

 

[Gliese581]

figures one of the few times i hope for tommy he loses

 

[Pscht]

From tanking a challenger a few weeks ago to straight-setting the top three seeds to win his first title :silly:

 

[Kowchi]

Paire in full swing, with backhand, forehand, serve, dropshot.

:sport:

Simply unbelievable tennis from Benoit this week, even the FH was at a decent level :lol:

 

[roddicking]

Paire deserves the title, but I'm curious why ATP let a French umpire (Cedric Mourier) to officiate a French player's match?

 

[norwood_10]

Far more talented player and far better human being won, good for the game :yeah: Hopefully Benoit rises from here, he's the real #2 after all

 

[nadalfan2007]

Benoit is on fire. When he plays like this week, it's really difficult to stop him. No losing a set. Great! :yeah:
I hope he will keep this form for the next tournaments.

Terrific match from Ben! :cheerleader: And a very well deserved 1st title this week! :bowdown:

He was so aggressive and never stopped fighting, saving a couple of set points against him in the 1st set before closing it out. And he never gave up in the epic 6th game of the 2nd set, just kept going for it and kept fighting until he got the break. It's really a pleasure to see him play this well, he has such a lovely game to watch.

And he wins the title without even dropping a set this week! Now up to #42 in the live rankings! Allez!!!!

Great level of tennis whole week from Paire so congrats to him, but some of those drop shots were... he should focus on tactics, because some of his choices on the court are rivaling those of Monfils who is known as main clown of ATP

 

[FlameOn]

OMG no. I'm happy for him, but I just dumped him as a fave on account of his terrible attitude and recent tanking incident :help: and he goes and does this :help:.

I honestly never thought this would ever happen for Benoit - surely he couldn't go a full week without having one of his usual meltdowns somewhere :lol:. Well, I was wrong. I'm not coming crawling back (he still has to earn that by proving it's not a fluke and he really has hope of growing up) but this is a good start.

 

[bavaria100]

This was a coming of age performance by Paire. :worship: It would be amazing if he could play like this more regularly.
