In an interview with Tennis Magazin, Corentin Moutet addressed different questions about his strong personality, defending his honesty against those who consider him a controversial player.
The shadow of controversy always surrounds Corentin Moutet. Considered by many to be a ‘bad boy’ of tennis, the French player defended himself against these criticisms in an interview with the media tennis magazinewhere the number 67 of the world recognized that sometimes he makes mistakes but that does not mean that he is a bad person.
In statements collected by espn sportsMoutet, that during this 2023 He has had to deal with an injury to his right elbow for which he has only been able to play four matches, he showed himself without filters, as he is, and confessed that having been able to play against Rafael Nadal last year in Roland Garros it was a dream come true.
A person like any other
“I’m not a bad boy, I’m just not perfect. I make mistakes, but I learn from them and face them normally. I consider myself an emotional person. I am someone authentic, honest and I show myself how I feel”.
Honesty by flag
“If I have mistakes, I admit them and I do not deceive myself or those around me. Those mistakes have made me who I am today. Tennis is an individual sport, I do not expect anything from anyone. People will always give their opinion on what I should and shouldn’t do, but The most important thing is that my team and I are honest with each other.”
The double standards with the other ‘bad boys’ of the circuit
“The circuit doesn’t quite know what it wants. It is true that they want to play fair and penalize players for misconduct. But of course, everything Kyrgios does helps promote himalthough You can’t have both, you have to choose.
Rafael Nadal, his idol
“He is a special player in all aspects, because of his joy, his physical shape and his mentality. It always shows you that you have to be ambitious, You have to be proud of your achievements, but stay humble at the same time. That is the best combination. When I got to play against him last year in the Philippe Chatrier It was a dream come true I’ve been wanting it since I was a kid“.
Win a Grand Slam, his great goal
“Not because that makes me more popular, but because I want to experience the emotions that it entailsas well as making my family and friends proud“.
The balance between professional and personal life
“My main goal is to retire with the least amount of regrets possible, find a balance between my professional and private life“.
On the track, for the moment, Moutet continues without finding good news. His last defeat, yesterday in the Italic forum of Romaoccurred in his debut against the 235 of the ATP ranking, the Hungarian Fabian Marozsan, in three sets.
