Benoit Paire is not scared about being fined after losing one of the ugliest matches of his career when he was caught spitting, cursing, and tanking in Argentina. Things got horribly wrong on Thursday for the Frenchman during his match against the world no.137 Francisco Cerundolo when Paire could not accept a line call. The 31-year-old spat on what he thought was the right mark.
Benoit Paire complains about a mark, spits on it, gets a code violation, then proceeds to take all the anger out on an overhead and continues to complain as he runs to the chair 😂 #abnamrowtt https://t.co/tcQpj502uB

Eventually, Benoit started to tank the match and he even served the last point while the ball bo was still in the court.

Benoit Paire about the fine
The Frenchman is expected to receive a big fine. In the meantime, he bragged about his huge prize money showing off he is not scared about a possible fine.
This didn’t look good.
