Video - Paire sinks in a Challenger in Seoul

Video - Paire sinks in a Challenger in Seoul

Benoît Paire had another outburst at a Challenger tournament in South Korea.

Beaten by Taro Daniel in three tight sets (7-6, 4-6, 7-5) in the 1st round of the Seoul Challenger, the Frenchman cracked after losing the first set (see video below).

A problem with the court lights and a chair umpire's decision on set point sent him over the edge: "I'm going to stop talking because if I don't, I'm going to say horrible things about this country, about the people, about everyone! Horrors I'm going to say."

Following this defeat, Benoît Paire, ranked 281st in the world this week, will officially drop out of the Top 300.

A season in which he has won just 9 matches with just one victory on the main tour.
