Benoit Paire and Casper Ruud recently competed in the ongoing UTS Grand Final 2023 in London.
Paire was last seen competing in the Maia challenger tournament, where he lost to Nuno Borges in the final. Casper Ruud, on the other hand, was defeated in the first round of the Paris Masters by Francisco Cerundolo.
At the UTS Grand Final 2023, Paire plays with the moniker The Rebel, while Ruud plays as The Ice Man. Both of them are placed in Group A in the league, which also includes Diego Schwartzman and Andrey Rublev. Rublev and Ruud have qualified for the final four by securing the top two places in the group.
While Ruud defeated Paire in straight sets, a hilarious incident occurred during their encounter.
Between the points, Paire drank a beer from the crowd. As he was chugging the beer, Ruud had already begun serving, due to the 15 seconds between points rule.
However, Paire somehow managed to return the ball in time and ended up winning the point to stun the Norwegian.
