French tennis star Benoit Paire is unpredictable, inconsistent, and flamboyant. He has been in crosshairs with tennis authorities due to his temper tantrums and crazy on-court behaviors.

Despite all his theatrics on the court, Paire can be a formidable tennis player. His double-handed backhand is one of the best on tour. He often surprises opponents with drop shots and has a fondness for between-the-legs shots even when those shots are not required. He has reached the fourth round at grand slams multiple times.

Paire follows the Olympique de Marseille soccer team His idols when growing up were Marat Safin and Roger Federer. His sponsors are Babolat and Celio. He has earned over $10 million in his career.
