We knew Corentin Moutet’s appetite for rap, it persists and signs. The 21-year-old French player had the leisure to perform his first single live on a television set.
Corentin Moutet was visiting beIN SPORTS on Sunday. And it’s on the music of his first single, titled Ecorché, that the show opened: “Music is therapy, pleasure, passion … My inspirations come from French music, basically I listened to Damien Saez a lot. Then French rap, Scylla , Guizmo, full of rappers of the moment … “Moutet, aged 21, is 77th player in the world and tenth French player. He had already relayed some clips, but the release of a single on October 2 is therefore a great first for him, an important step in addition to assert his double hat. Nevertheless, it is of course tennis that remains his main activity, which has been announced for several years now as a great hope.
“I hope to be able to take over from our Musketeers, Gilles Simon, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, Richard Gasquet and Gael Monfils. Even if they are not yet finished, they have very good careers! It is something that puts of time, they are always on the level even if their classification decreases. But their age also increases, therefore inevitably others arrive and the relay is done automatically, by the force of circumstances. But to have the chance to often play with them, especially in these off-season times, they are always at a high level (smile). ” Moutet had marked the spirits at Roland Garros by losing in an incredible match in the first round against Lorenzo Giustino, 18-16 in the fifth set. In two days and 6:05 ‘of play, his meeting became the second longest ever in Paris.
