WATCH: Paire crashes into net during win in Basel
He put the wheels in motion and just couldn't slow his roll.
Playing in his opening round in Basel, Benoit Paire put in his full effort, and then a little bit more. In a dramatic point at 4-2, Johnson pulled Paire so close to the net that the Frenchman literally ran into it. He put the wheels in motion and just couldn't slow his roll.
The lanky 6'5" Paire pulled himself up just in time to embrace Johnson. Paire would recover from the tumble to win 6-3, 7-6 (4), setting up a showdown with Roger Federer.
