The French Tennis Federation has banned Benoit Paire from the Olympics for his “misconduct”. The number 35 of the ATP will therefore not be able to represent his country in the next Olympic event. However, the French tennis player does not seem to have taken it too badly judging by his most recent publication after knowing the decision of the French Federation. Paire has posted a video on his social networks, which is already viral, and has not left anyone indifferent: «His behavior has been deeply inappropriate since the beginning of the year, seriously undermines the values of sport, the image of tennis and is totally incompatible with the olympic spirit ”, declared Gilles Moretton, the new president of the French Tennis Federation. Thus, the decision to exclude Benoit Paire as a possible candidate to be part of the French team at the Tokyo Olympics this summer was announced. Benoit Paire has starred in several incidents throughout his career, more in recent months, with some scuffle with a chair umpire, being singled out for letting himself win, etc. He had recently declared that he feels that “the circuit has rotted” and has been burdened with the current situation that tennis is experiencing as a result of the pandemic. 😘 pic.twitter.com/34gUSHBk6R – paire benoit (@benoitpaire) April 24, 2021 Everything has ended causing the FFT to decide to sideline him in the next Olympic Games in France – at this moment he is the fourth ranked in the ranking among the French -.
