(Reuters) - Playing tennis is currently not the priority for Benoit Paire and the temperamental Frenchman said he was content to hop from one tournament to another, lose in the first round and earn some money in the process.
A win against Chile's world number 1,165 Nicolas Jarry in Cordoba, Argentina, last month is the only victory the 31-year-old Paire, who reached a career-high ranking of 18th in 2016, has managed this year.
