Benoit Paire

When things don’t go your way in the tennis, then why not change the sport midway through the match? That’s exactly what Benoit Paire and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga did at the Halle Open.

The French pair were in action in the first round when Paire dropped his racket and then improvised with a game of football. His compatriot Tsonga was more than up for the challenge.

Tsonga was more than up for the challenge in the tennis as well as he won the match 6-4, 7-5 to set up a second-round clash against nine-time Halle winner Roger Federer.
