The tennis season has just started again and the players are already talking about them a lot. While Novak Djokovic is in the middle of an imbroglio around his participation in the Australian Open, a French player also made the talk yesterday, but for very different reasons. Corentin Moutet, a young French tennis player with great potential, is also in Australia and to start his season, he decided to register for the Adelaide tournament and everything did not go as planned …
Arrived in the round of 16 of the competition, the 22-year-old faced Serbian Laslo Djere yesterday. As he wins the first set, the Frenchman sees his opponent win the second, which puts him in black anger. The reason ? With three balls to play the decisive tie-break, the latter could not conclude any and let himself go to a “F * ck you!” angry in the direction of the referee. Serious error for Corentin Moutet since the referee in question then summoned the match supervisor to inform him of his behavior. As a result, the 92nd player in the world was disqualified for his attitude.
An elimination which he will surely regret since he was still fully in the game at the time of this incident. Unfortunately, this is not the first time that he has had such a high mood, similar to a certain Benoît Paire. About a year ago, during the Masters 1000 in Paris Bercy, Corentin Moutet literally destroyed a billboard out of frustration. At the time, no disqualification, however.
