Top 5 Quotes of 2024, No. 5: At Wimbledon, Taylor Fritz sends Arthur Rinderknech packing—in more ways than one

There's never a dull moment when Benoit Paire is on court. The flashy Frenchman was facing compatriot Richard Gasquet in the first round of Basel. On the ropes, he went for a desperate diving volley, and managed to even hit a second ball back from the ground.

Still, Paire dropped the point, and the match, 6-3, 4-6, 6-4. Paire wasn't the only Frenchman showing off his tricks in Paris.

Pierre-Hugues Herbert ripped an insane tweener passing shot against Feliciano Lopez on Tuesday.
