Tennis : The Nadal clan's scathing response to Benoit Paire's recent outbursts!

Benoît Paire has been extremely critical of the way tennis is currently run, as he no longer makes any effort during tournaments. An outing that has taken on colossal proportions and to which Toni Nadal has responded.

"The only thing I can think of is to get out of the bubble. That's the only goal I have at every tournament. I come in, take some money and go to the next tournament: I do my job. What's amazing about the current circuit is that there's a lot of profit to lose. If you win an ATP 250, you only get $30,000. I've taken 10,000 every time I've lost a bye. Why do you have to work like crazy to win just a little bit more (...) If that's what tennis has become, that's life, but it's not my life. I'm not going to go on like this for long. "In an interview with L'Équipe, Benoît Paire confided in us about his weariness, which he doesn't even bother to hide anymore. A surrealistic message that did not stop at the limits of French tennis but took on an insane magnitude, provoking numerous reactions. Among the latter, that of the Nadal clan.

"It's not a credit to tennis

Speaking on a Spanish television channel, Toni Nadal was asked about Benoît Paire's comments. The uncle of Spanish tennis giant Rafael Nadal responded frankly, disappointed by the Frenchman's attitude. "This is not a credit to tennis. These statements are not correct. It also symbolises how little we value effort in our society. He would have done better to keep this to himself because it tarnishes the image of tennis," he said in comments reported by We Love Tennis.
