New French sensation Benoit Paire says his quiet life is over:  “I feel the pressure, you know. Like now. Several years ago I was in the smaller room for this press conference, you know, three people asking me questions, and now this is the big room, the main room. I feel it.  Pressure is put on me by the journalists. . .

Jo Wilfried Tsonga will face countryman Jeremy Chardy in the third round of Roland Garros and said this of his foe: “He’s got the lasso forehand similar to Gael Monfils, massive swing, and my forehand just booms like a rocket.  Like a cannonball, which is I suppose it’s a learned gesture.” . . .

Britain’s Heather Watson, who just returned from a bout with mono, says that her right elbow is aching….

Laura Robson has  a back injury. . .

US teen Madison Keys, who lost in the second round of the French Open is headed to the grass for Nottingham, Birmingham, Eastbourne and Wimbledon. . .

Caroline Wozniacki, who has lost six of her last eight matches, would like to play the grass court tournament in Birmingham, England, but is restricted by WTA rules that do not allow top 10 players to play more than two International Series events during a year. . .

Ernests Gulbis took a swing at the Big 4 in L’Equipe: “I respect Roger, Rafa, Novak and Murray but, for me, all four of them are boring players. Their interviews are boring. Honestly, they are boring as c**p. I often go on YouTube to watch the interviews. With tennis, I quickly stop. It is a joke. . .

Sam Querrey and Milos Raonic looks set to play Boodles prior to Wimbledon.
