Tennis. Benoit Paire's strong testimony on his depression: "I realized I needed help."

Benoit Paire was eliminated in the first round at Wimbledon last week. He is currently going through a difficult period. On Friday, the Vauclusien who had not performed well at Roland-Garros, spoke out to clarify his current situation. In an interview with Brut, he says that the key to success is to balance partying and being serious about the tournaments. This is what I am having more difficulty doing right now. This is why I am going to start over. Two days have passed since I last drank alcohol. I am now in complete treatment. It's fun to go to practice and play with my friends. But, it's not enjoyable to come to a tennis match ...".

The 30-year old also spoke out about how he struggles to control his emotions, especially stress-related, on the court. He sought outside help to deal with the situation. My head is so bad, I don’t know when it will get better. This injury can be very severe and I hope it will heal as quickly as possible. He says that I understood that I needed support and that I needed to improve my pitching skills. I see shrinks and a lot more people trying to understand my situation. It would be impossible for me to do it all by myself. I consult a hypnotist, a psychologist. A mental trainer is available to help me with many things.

All this will allow Benoit Paire to try and revive himself, he is currently ranked 73rd at ATP.
