Print Edition
Frenchman Benoit Paire said yesterday that he was allowed to play in the Hamburg Open despite testing positive for COVID-19 because the 鈥渞ules are different鈥 in Germany.
Paire, who caused a storm at the US Open last month when he was forced to pull out of the Grand Slam after testing positive for COVID-19, said he returned a positive test again on his arrival in Germany but was told he was no longer contagious. Paire played Norwegian Casper Ruud in his first-round match but retired in the second set when he was down 4-6, 0-2. 鈥淲hen I arrived, the test came back positive again,鈥 Paire, who also played in the Rome Masters last week, told reporters. 鈥淚 can鈥檛 take it anymore, I鈥檓 breaking. And then I鈥檓 told, in Germany, if you are positive and have already completed the quarantine (period), they no longer test the players because even if you catch it again, you are no longer contagious. I said 鈥榯hank you鈥 to the doctor and the tournament (organizers) for allowing me to play... In Paris, some are negative but since the coach tested positive, they cannot play. Here, in Germany, you test positive and you can still play.鈥 Six players in the French Open men鈥檚 and women鈥檚 qualifying draw were withdrawn this week after either testing positive for COVID-19 or after coming in close contact with a coach who tested positive. The French Open begins on Sunday.
