The Frenchman played the perfect match against the Chilean, recent finalist in Rome.
You never really know which Corentin Moutet you might come across. Heads side, tails side. And this Sunday, it was clearly on the right side, with a major victory for the Ile-de-France resident against Nicolas Jarry (16th in the world), dismissed in four sets (6-2, 6-1, 3-6, 6-0) . Swept away, the Chilean, finalist of the Masters 1000 in Rome a week ago, even suffered a scathing 6-0 to finish, while he seemed to come to his senses after winning the third round.
This was without counting on the enthusiasm of the Frenchman, always quick to feed off the energy of the public, particularly on the Court Simone-Matthieu. “It was a crazy atmosphere, thank you everyone for showing up”thanked the little French left-hander, congratulating himself on having “played better and better as the match progressed”.
In the next round, the 79th in the world will face the winner of the duel between the Kazakh Alexander Shevchenko (61st) and the Russian Aslan Karatsev (82nd).
