Benoît Paire announces the color. This Wednesday morning, via his account Twitter official, the French number 2, 28th player in the world, has unveiled the program that will be his, on the ATP circuit, after having played the Australian Open. Indeed, the Habs have thus decided to favor the South American tour on clay, for the end of February and the beginning of March. However, just after the first Grand Slam of the year, the Montpellier tournament will take place., but, for the second year in a row, the Avignonese is not on the list of hired and will therefore miss the call. A tournament that has been successful for him in the past, and more than once. Indeed, he had then reached the quarterfinals in 2018, the semi-finals in 2017 and even the final in 2013. That year, he had been unable to do anything against his compatriot, Richard Gasquet, then in a very great shape and visibly unplayable.
Tournament program for the coming weeks: ATP Cup, Australian Open, Cordoba, Buenos Aires, Santiago, Acapulco, Miami … ????

No return to Europe before April?
Last year, the tennis player, now 31, opted for India and the tournament in Pune, which is, this year, moved. There, the one who had the best ranking 18th in the world had then fallen heavily, in the first round, against Roberto Marcora, ranked 174th in the world. This year, Benoît Paire will therefore go to Cordoba before continuing with Buenos Aires and Santiago. On Argentina’s side, Diego Schwartzman will be the No. 1 seed and the No. 2 seed will be the Frenchman. After Chile, the Habs will then fly to Acapulco, before continuing with Miami. His return to Europe is not expected before next April.
