He's like a caricature of the "rude Frenchman" stereotype. Not all French players are like that of course, Monfis for example is the polar opposite to Paire.
When he was younger there was a documentary on him broadcast on french TV and it was very sad to watch but also gave me a lot of sympathy for him, he was totally aware he had insane demons but couldn't stop becoming so horrible and self destructive on court and was trying to work on it to still exploit his potential. Well now that we're near the end of his career, he didn't really ever go past that but he still had a pretty decent career and some fun moments.
@@JulioHernandez-dx7gt The series is called Intérieur Sport and the episode was named Servi Frappé, but even in french I can't find it anymore so good luck if you want subtitles lol
There was an interview at the beginning of the year, which Benoit basically admitted his attitude problem on the court, and he's trying to improve it. So I'd say he's definitely one of the biggest clowns, but at least he admitted it and is trying to improve.
He is exactly where he deserves: losing against challenger players, and completely forgotten by everyone. Congrats mate, a whole dedicated youth to end like this lmao
@@Bensway7 yes screaming with the umpire, ripping his shirt off, spitting on the court, acting completely berserk... this must be the saddest clown in tennis
I think he was also affected by the lockdowns - okay, all players had to deal with it but some players were badly affected. Benoit Paire was one such player. There were concerns about his behaviour on-court long before Convid but the lockdowns worsened and exacerbated them. I truly believe that.
The strange thing is some people do things like that to take the rivals out of their game and make them lose focus (kyrgios, even top players like novak to a lesser extent). But this guy apparently only does it to sabotage himself, the moment he starts to throw a tantrum the match is over and he proceeds to lose all the remaining games.
Should’ve been automatically defaulted after he spit so disrespectfully. That’s the most shameful thing you can do. Spit where you don’t agree with an umpire’s decision. You’re insulting him, your opponent, the sport, the fans and everything in between. Honestly that should include forfeiture of prize money for the event too. Disgraceful behavior.
It’s extremely sad that Paire never got professional help during his career. Should’ve taken a year off to control his problems, cause his behavior is a disgrace for the sport.
If you were ever someone who dreamed of a career as a tennis player but weren't blessed by the physical attributes and athleticism of this man, I feel for you having watched 11:14.
Personal responsibility is a thing. He's rich enough to have had a therapist travel with him or be at the end of a phone line. He could have chosen to give up alcohol. He could have picked the brains of sports people professionals who developed self-control or who found peace in their lives (eg French speaker Mary Pierce). Etc etc... But no...just keep getting sympathy and folk enabling him 🙄
He has won more often than he has lost during his career and he has had a couple of great seasons, his prize money has been over $10 million in total over his career and he has been a top 20 player
Why he still playing tennis?? You cant do that in a match. Raging and throwing tantrums could break opponent rhythm. It was his cheap strategy to find anything to rage when he's behind.
Benoit could have been a top 5 player in the world with a bit more work, but I don't think he really likes tennis and even less training. It's a shame with a backhand of this quality. But we in France love him very much.
French players spend so much time perfecting the art of clowning around, they have no time left to focus on tennis. Which explains why none of them last more than one week at RG.
I feel sorry for all those parents and coaches who tries to make exemplar kids and future champions on the courts telling them to focus, hard work and not whine over lost points if they want to reach top level and then they see this clown at this level... France's shame
paire bernard kyrgios(slam winner) not clown for sure, fabio too if you are playing good tennis and even winning grandslam how does that make you a clown nick is f grandslam winner, clown is someone who insults opponent with combination that undergoes his tennis expectattions potencial by a lot.
@@Bensway7 for me clowning in tennis is unprofessional behavior that affects your career/matches. All of these players have great potential but they are their own worst enemies on the court
@@gromeisterb6117 as psichology sports expert I wanna say I notice some players losing as if on purpose so they can focus on winning next big thing so they can get hyped up it's popular trick but for paire winning part happen less unfortunate but doesn't mean he's clown for me
All this focusing on the definition of what's a "tennis clown" and what is not, is totally nonsense to me. What counts the most, is that those behaviors are all self-destructive, and very disrespectful for who came (and paid) to see some professional tennis play, and not all that pathetic display of random antics.
Pair is not a clown, he is probably right 80% of the time, but this is tennis and life, actually, in life, rich people are always right over the poor....
on a notre Mc Enroe, il gère très mal la colère, j'ai l'impression, qu'il y a certainement beaucoup d'argent en jeu pour qu'il agisse ainsi, je l'ai vu casser (bousiller) beaucoup de raquettes, il doit avoir un gros budget équipement
i mean he can be talented enough to know that he is gonna lose anyway so he starts to do nonsense because of that but ye probably he tanked games there and there.
Sorry but i'm a french man and very responsible. This player is a shame for French Tennis, and the spirit of tennis... sport in global... But, you are insulting french people saying that we're all "clowns"... I respect other religions and foreigners, do the same... By, this way it"s just if i said .... nation are stupid... RESPECT.....
All french tennis players are clowns. Tout ce viviers de joueurs et aucun capable de gagner un masters 1000 depuis quand déjà? C'est toute une génération de teubés que la FFT a pondu. Il n'y a que Tsonga qui a sauvé l'honneur, les autres sont des pitres du dernier rang, néanmoins utile pour à donner un peu d'ambiance dans les soirées de RG.
What I don't understand is why is he invented into any tournaments? I would understand the invites if he was a big players and they'd have to just accept this pathetic petulant attitude but he is a mediocre player to top it off.
I can hear and understand the argument that lockdowns may have impacted him. Yet, he is a clown for being expelled from the biggest sports event (Rio Olympics) by his own national team. Empty stands, clown. Grandest stage of them all, clown.
As a former toddler, I can relate to his behaviour.
touché!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂
😂😂
Many try to imitate him, but there can only be one true grandmaster of clowning.
like gaston and moutet right? 😆😅
@@artb3181 they’re on the right path that’s for sure
Tsisipas is worse
if he is beaten as a clown there is Trump!!!!!
Lmao😂
sinner not complaining at all in the first vid
The one clip from that section of the video where Paire served it Sinner was not even remotely ready is outrageous
Sinner wasn't even mad about it he would've probably just let him have the point lol@@MyGloriousKingBronBron
Jannik is always calm. He was the same against Kyrgios. Fantastic. Cold as ice. That's the best behaviour against these clown guys.
He’s so petty taking the pictures of the mark 😂
the mark was out aswell 😂
1:58 That’s probably the best forehand Paire has ever hit. LOL!😂
It is about time he got his very own highlight video! Thank you sir, I really enjoyed this one 👍🏻👍🏻
The single whistle after Paige rips his shirt kills me
He's like a caricature of the "rude Frenchman" stereotype. Not all French players are like that of course, Monfis for example is the polar opposite to Paire.
he wants to be Chabal but he found tennis less risky than rugby
Son comportement lors du match avec Jannik est inadmissible. Ce mec est un danger pour les autres. Pas clown mais diable..nuance
When he was younger there was a documentary on him broadcast on french TV and it was very sad to watch but also gave me a lot of sympathy for him, he was totally aware he had insane demons but couldn't stop becoming so horrible and self destructive on court and was trying to work on it to still exploit his potential. Well now that we're near the end of his career, he didn't really ever go past that but he still had a pretty decent career and some fun moments.
Damn, that's actually pretty sad. I hope things get better for him mentally.
Your comment is very humane and compassionate. Thank you for making me reflect on these issues
is there a link for it? thx

Benoit Paire aka "la CHAAAAATTE"
Dude’s got some mental challenges
3:53 lol. so awkward for Rune
There was an interview at the beginning of the year, which Benoit basically admitted his attitude problem on the court, and he's trying to improve it.
So I'd say he's definitely one of the biggest clowns, but at least he admitted it and is trying to improve.
he hasn't improve a shit lol
hes ok hes not clown just cant handle some lost points.
True goat of tennis😂
Gcoat
Yessir
More like donkey than goat!!!
King Ben 1er
Easily GOAT
He is exactly where he deserves: losing against challenger players, and completely forgotten by everyone. Congrats mate, a whole dedicated youth to end like this lmao
Another excellent clowns in tennis video hopefully more to come please.
hes not clown just because you talk with umpire during match doesnt make you a clown, he has phenomenal shots
@@Bensway7 yes screaming with the umpire, ripping his shirt off, spitting on the court, acting completely berserk... this must be the saddest clown in tennis
@@Bensway7clown 🤡🤡
His antics are so entertaining tho
I know
Johnny Mac would be proud, sure he's aware of this cat😂
adel nour: please put the bottle up
benny paire: proceeds to slap bottle with is racket
He is in the top 5 of clowns for sure! lol
Moutet is the first maybe
I think he was also affected by the lockdowns - okay, all players had to deal with it but some players were badly affected.
Benoit Paire was one such player.

I truly believe that.
But some parts were before the lockdowns
00:57 the umpire is wearing a mask....on his neck....while sitting up there all alone. 3 reasons why the umpire is the biggest clown in this video
The strange thing is some people do things like that to take the rivals out of their game and make them lose focus (kyrgios, even top players like novak to a lesser extent). But this guy apparently only does it to sabotage himself, the moment he starts to throw a tantrum the match is over and he proceeds to lose all the remaining games.
How can a person manage to become so unpleasant to me so quickly?
''Can I sweat because of COVID?" 😂
"and if I don’t care about COVID"🤣
Should’ve been automatically defaulted after he spit so disrespectfully.
That’s the most shameful thing you can do. Spit where you don’t agree with an umpire’s decision. You’re insulting him, your opponent, the sport, the fans and everything in between.

Disgraceful behavior.
He just got old and didn’t change. Now he is constantly playing Challengers struggling for ATP points…
It’s extremely sad that Paire never got professional help during his career. Should’ve taken a year off to control his problems, cause his behavior is a disgrace for the sport.
Well he was right about one thing: The rule about the server dictating the pace between points is idiotic.
it isnˋt. if this rule wouldnˋt exist you couldnˋt force the returning player to be ready before the shot clock tells him to
If you were ever someone who dreamed of a career as a tennis player but weren't blessed by the physical attributes and athleticism of this man, I feel for you having watched 11:14.
It's called persecution complex and it's a real psychological disorder. Actually feel bad for him
Personal responsibility is a thing.
He's rich enough to have had a therapist travel with him or be at the end of a phone line.
He could have chosen to give up alcohol.
He could have picked the brains of sports people professionals who developed self-control or who found peace in their lives (eg French speaker Mary Pierce).
Etc etc...
But no...just keep getting sympathy and folk enabling him 🙄
We love him, he reminds us how tennis can drive people crazy
Can someone explain to me how in the first clip he didnt get disqualified???
2:38 hahahaha Sinner not giving a fuck is very funny to me
Goatest clown, or clowniest goat
4:40 the serve looks ace to be honest.
6:24 LMAO this is peak I've never seen this
How is someone like this able to go through life like that. Just imagine, how hes in day to day life, if that's how he acts on court.
His girlfriend/wife certainly likes drama in her life.
he is the biggest disrespectful person on tour 🙄
can't the ref issue warnings, fines or send him off for unsporting behavior?
"How much the fine?"😂
Throwing tantrums like a kid
This is outrageous.
Il n'y a pas plus Français comme attitude que Paire, restez comme vous êtes ça nous diverti :D
Faut pas abuser aussi
I have no idea how this guy could handle such players like Djokovic and Kyrgios with such a weak forehand. His other strokes are really good though.
able to behave the best and the worst indeed..
paire, gaston and moutet are really pushing each other to become the biggest tennis clowns
She was broken?
mdr le déglingo PUUUUUUUUUTE
so it comes down to him being basically a normal french guy :P
How does he make a living?! He literally loses all the time.
He has won more often than he has lost during his career and he has had a couple of great seasons, his prize money has been over $10 million in total over his career and he has been a top 20 player
Protestar alguna vez o hacer un mal gesto es normal con la tensión de competir pero hacerlo de forma continua es de manual de psicología
absolutely yes
I love this guy so much is sooooo funny
If Benoit a clown than tennis is the circus
Why he still playing tennis?? You cant do that in a match. Raging and throwing tantrums could break opponent rhythm. It was his cheap strategy to find anything to rage when he's behind.
jezus man, how horrible must he be feeling from inside?
Benoit could have been a top 5 player in the world with a bit more work, but I don't think he really likes tennis and even less training. It's a shame with a backhand of this quality. But we in France love him very much.
Yes he is !! I think he is close to depression because of tennis which is a tough sport if you're not mentally equipped
French players spend so much time perfecting the art of clowning around, they have no time left to focus on tennis. Which explains why none of them last more than one week at RG.
I feel sorry for all those parents and coaches who tries to make exemplar kids and future champions on the courts telling them to focus, hard work and not whine over lost points if they want to reach top level and then they see this clown at this level... France's shame
I feel sorry for his parents, it must have been a tough life.
wtf most likely its because of them..
Come on Benny!
Umpires need to be firmer. Players get away with anything
Some things are absolutly funny, some things arent, if it get too unsportsmanlike or even dangerous
Paire, Bernie, Nick, Moutet, Fabio are for me the top 5 clowns in tennis
paire bernard kyrgios(slam winner) not clown for sure, fabio too if you are playing good tennis and even winning grandslam how does that make you a clown nick is f grandslam winner, clown is someone who insults opponent with combination that undergoes his tennis expectattions potencial by a lot.

please put up your tennis videos so we can see who judges, can't wait
Uh.... What.....?
Ok, 'Pierre' lol.
Esse Paire precisa de um tratamento psiquiátrico urgente!
In France, we don't have any top players, that is all we have
He's genius he's truthful
How the heck does he have over 10 million dollars as prize money?
He has been playing for many years and used to be top 20.
En tant que français j'ai honte de voir que les vidéos sur Paire, Gaston et Moutet sont celles qui ont le plus de "vues" sur cette chaîne
dejando de lado lo cómico que puede ser....es un maleducado con el rival y el público
Definitively
I actually like him a lot but somehow I don’t like kyrgios I don’t know why 😂
He doesn’t even like tennis himself why even bring his case
Hope he doesn't have a wife to beat at home
Or a wife to get into disputes with. 😆
he looks like he would beat weaker ppl xD@@nathanpollard1223
I'm french and it is a shame to watch this disrespectful guy
Mental illness is tough
Bennoit goes after the truth while everyone else goes after the $$$

the most funny tennisman 😂😂
Why does he even play? What's he trying to achieve? It's just dumb to lose a match purposely. On top of that he's a grown man yet he's so immature
He has tanked a ton of matches
i mean he can be talented enough to know that he is gonna lose anyway so he starts to do nonsense because of that but ye probably he tanked games there and there.
elegance a la francais

Naaa Moutet has to be nr1.... Biggest clown ever seen
This guy is purely a goat
Yes

Nah he's been surpassed by several people now.

Same !
