French tennis player Benoit Paire, 46th in the world, already tested positive at the US Open 2020, has just announced that he has tested positive again for Covid-19, which could call into question his participation in the Open d ‘Australia.
Frenchman Benoît Paire announced on Wednesday that he had tested positive for Covid-19 again, which could call into question his participation in the Australian Open, and expressed his fed up with the situation.
“Hello my name is Benoit Paire and for the 250th time I am positive for Covid !! Frankly, I can’t take more of your shitty Covid !!”, tweeted the Frenchman.
Pair, 46th in the world, had in particular already tested positive during the US Open 2020, which had led to a forced quarantine of several days in New York, then again a few weeks later at the Hamburg tournament.
This new contamination seriously calls into question its preparation for the Australian Open (January 17-30).
Especially since mentally, the French are not at their best. “How am I? Because of the Covid, I have a runny nose, but because of all these quarantines spent in a room on the other side of the world, I do not feel very well in my head”, writes Paire Wednesday.
“Last year was difficult and this year begins in the same way”, he continues, before calling on the authorities of tennis. “@ATPTour you defend how the players in my case?”.
