Paire Doesn’t Care!
Paire has admitted recently that he “doesn’t care” if he loses a match since the pandemic began.
He has been in a poor form and has done a little to justify his ATP ranking this year, winning just one out of the last eight matches.
Paire also admitted he just wants to take the appearance money and go home, having recently also showed his career earnings in a social media post and calling himself “useless”.
At Argentina Open recently he spat on his opponent’s service mark before being given a point penalty and lost out to the Argentine opponent Francisco Cerundolo, playing the last few games as a mere formality.
Now on a four-match losing streak, Paire knows he will require a monumental effort to get past any of his opponents, regardless of their ranking.
The Frenchman last registered a win back in February at Cordoba and is coming off a 6-3, 6-1 drubbing at the hands of Stefanos Tsitsipas recently.

Musetti’s Top 100 Breakthrough
Musetti has been one of the hottest Next Generation ATP stars since his stunning performance at Internazionali BNL d’Italia last year.
He has been in incredible form reaching two ATP Tour semi-finals, one of them recently at Acapulco.
Moving up 24 places in the ATP rankings chart, he is on a career high ranking of 94 with a 3-1 win-loss record this year.
By climbing up to 94the place, the 19-year-old became the youngest player in the top 100.
Acapulco proved to be a dream tournament for him as he ousted Diego Schwartzman, Frances Tiafoe and Grigor Dimitrov on his way to the semi-finals before losing out to Tsitsipas in straight sets.
Musetti makes it to this second round with a comfortable 6-4, 6-4 win over American Michael Mmoh and now has a brilliant chance of making it to the third round against a very troubled opponent.
Paire v Musetti Prediction and Tip
Lorenzo has a strong single handed backhand and he loves to do down the line which he claims to be his strength. He has that flair while playing from the baseline and likes to pick his spots but an unpredictable opponent like Paire can hinder the Italian’s rhythm.
Paire, arguably being on his worst form possible, simply “doesn’t care” about getting a result. And unless something changes drastically for him, we expect Lorenzo Musetti to go through to the next round.
Tip: Musetti to win in straight sets: 4/6 (bet365)
