Pablo Andujar supports Benoît Paire

Some messages, as has now become a habit, come from bettors furious at having lost money by betting on their match.

Far from the enticing slogans of sports betting companies, let's never forget that if betting can eventually earn you money, it can also and above all ruin you (and drive you crazy).

The Spanish tennis player Pablo Andujar gave his support to Paire and clarified that these messages of hatred were the lot of all players on the circuit after a defeat.

"We have to digest these insults every week," he concludes.

It's tiring.
