NEW YORK : Benoit Paire said his"demons" returned during his first round loss to Cameron Norrie at the U.S. Open on Tuesday where the Frenchman struggled to stay focused during the match's biggest moments.
But the opportunity slipped away and an error-strewn tiebreak and one-sided third set eventually produced the bizarre scoreline of 6-0 7-6 6-0 on a blazingly hot day at Flushing Meadows. "I am not sure if I will continue the season, maybe stop there and see if I come back next year. At the moment, I need some rest."
He has reached as high as world number 18 but has struggled this year, with a slew of first round exits resulting in a dismal win-loss record of 4-21 and a world ranking of 173."It's a bit tough. Even when I stop and come back, it is the head that is not there," he said.
