Corentin Moutet expressed anger following public remarks made by Danielle Collins about his alleged unsuccessful attempts at flirting. Collins, serving as an analyst at the Miami Open due to an injury, shifted the focus of her commentary to a personal incident involving Moutet.
The 32-year-old American, sidelined with an injury, has been providing commentary for the Tennis Channel during the Miami Open. However, her recent remarks about a pre-match encounter involving French player Moutet stirred controversy.
Moutet, ranked No.33 in the world, defeated Tomas Machac on Saturday, but it was his interaction with Collins before the match that caught attention. Collins shared details of the incident, where Moutet was reportedly making flirtatious remarks towards her during a practice session.
During a segment on the Tennis Channel, Collins recounted the incident, stating that she responded to Moutet’s flirtatious behavior by humorously mentioning that he needed to improve his serve. She also mentioned a subsequent interaction where Moutet messaged her about his match performance.
Moutet, who stands at 5’11, had been preparing to face world No.1 Jannik Sinner. Despite the upcoming match, he took the time to address Collins’ account of the incident, expressing his dismay over her comments and denying any prior social media interaction with her.
In a social media post, Moutet criticized Collins and the Tennis Channel for allowing false statements to be broadcast. He emphasized the need for self-respect and criticized Collins for seeking attention through controversial statements.
