Corentin Moutet went wild on a video posted on Twitter by the official ATP profile, and his muscular attack then hit former Russian legend Maria Sharapova.
The video in question, taken from the NETFLIX series Break Point, shows some of the behaviors that have contributed to creating the bad boy image around the figure of Nick Kyrgios
. The French tennis player wrote: “They punish us with big fines when we speak out on the court, and then they promote tennis and make money from it.
It’s funny
“.
A user with a profile picture of Maria Sharapova protested and sparked passions: “Do you express yourself by cheating?” Moutet didn’t think for a second and immediately replied: “It’s weird that you talk about cheating when you have a picture of Sharapova as your profile picture“.
The reference to the doping disqualification that Sharapova hit in 2016 due to her Meldonium positivity in 2016 is clear. A few days ago, Moutet openly mocked a statement by Emma Raducanu.

Sharapova on her doping ban
The former Russian tennis player told her version of the facts in the Vamos documentary produced by the Spanish platform Movistar +.
She expressed herself thus:I received an email from the International Tennis Federation, which usually sends simple emails, but this one talked about doping and mentioned a drug called Meldonium.
I went to the dictionary to look up this substance, I read Miteronato and I understood everything, I knew what it was. When I was young, I started taking it because I was in pain.
My father looked for a doctor in Russia, but this doctor did not have much experience with athletes. In Russia, he gave me this drug that you can get without a prescription, like aspirin. I was tested from 2006 to 2015 and never had any problems, then in January 2016 I learned that Meldonium had become illegal.
When there are several people in a team, everyone is responsible for the situation. I worked with the doctor and told my manager to check all banned drugs, it was late 2015 and he was having personal issues. He didn’t and we know what happened. It was a big mistake.”
