ATP 250 Kitzbuhel, Los Angeles 7/22-7/28/2012

[Jason11E]

I've never actually seen Benoit Paire play before. His style is frickin' weird.

I believe he played Baker at Wimbledon in the 3rd round this year and put up a decent match...he's a great shotmaker from the little I saw but his head betrayed him.

I saw Paire get destroyed by Ferrer the day I went to RG. He's competing well to get his picture next to "French tennis player" in the dictionary.

Saw Paire v. Istomin and Paire v. Giraldo in Bercy. He is awfully fond of kicking balls as well as hitting them.

Um, did Xavier Malisse not need his left knee to play doubles? He retired a couple days ago, didn't he?

Maybe he's gotten so good at throwing racquets, he can aim his at the ball and not actually move?
