Corentin Moutet (79th) is one of the most controversial players on the ATP circuit. The Frenchman is known for having a quite striking personality that generates a lot of rejection from tour followers week after week. However, there are also fans who support the European’s unconventional style. This Sunday, at Roland Garros, the left-hander will challenge Nicolás Jarry (16th), with whom he already had a rough exchange at the ATP in Santiago. Precisely, the European does not forget that fact.
Through his Instagram account, Moutet warmed up the match with a phrase that has already generated comments on the networks. “Rematch against Jarry at Roland Garros. I remember well the welcome they gave me at his house (ATP in Santiago). I hope that you (French) feel like showing him that this time we are at home. Be ready and loud. Here is Paris,” was the defiant message that Moutet wrote on his Instagram account.
What happened between Jarry and Moutet in Santiago?
In Moutet’s victory over Jarry at the Chile Open, the Frenchman had several clashes with the Chilean public, who did not forgive him for his attitude on the court, even criticizing his underhand serves, which are very common in each of his matches.
What’s more, even Jarry himself confronted him on the net after the final greeting, but Moutet did not pay attention to him. “He told me: ‘pathetic’ and I don’t know why, I behaved well. There were many people against me booing and making noise when I served. So I guess I didn’t do anything ‘pathetic’. I think I survived well, I played well. You should ask him why he said that. “We’re not exactly best friends on the circuit, in fact I don’t know him well,” Moutet told Clay last summer when they faced each other.
The Chilean and the French have played four times. Jarry won three of those duels, in the Canberra Challenger (2018), the Aix-en-Provence Challenger (2022) and the Halle ATP (2023), while Moutet won the aforementioned match played in San Carlos de Apoquindo.
