Corentin Moutet expressed his anger following public statements made by Danielle Collins regarding alleged unsuccessful flirtatious behavior. Collins, who is currently working as a pundit at the Miami Open due to being sidelined with an injury, diverted her focus to a different topic over the weekend.
The 32-year-old American, typically known for her tennis skills, took on a different role as a commentator for the Tennis Channel during the Miami Open. Collins’ commentary created a buzz on Sunday when she highlighted an incident involving French player Moutet.
Moutet, ranked No. 33 in the world, defeated Tomas Machac on Saturday, but it was the pre-match events that caught Collins’ attention. She openly shared the details of the situation during a segment on the Tennis Channel.
During the segment, host Steve Weissman mentioned Moutet’s actions towards Collins before his match, where he was reportedly calling out to her in a flirtatious manner. Collins humorously responded by saying, “If you’re going to flirt with me like that, you better improve your serve.” She then elaborated that, in her opinion, strong forehands and powerful serves are more important than height or personality in such situations.
When asked about Moutet’s reaction to her previous comments, Collins disclosed that he had unfollowed her after she made a statement about her dating preferences. Despite Moutet attempting to reconnect after his match victory, Collins maintained her stance that he would need to bring more to the table for any potential romantic interest to develop.
In response to Collins’ statements, Moutet, who stands at 5’11, should have been preparing to face world No.1 Jannik Sinner. However, he took the time to address Collins’ version of events, expressing his frustration at the misrepresented situation and questioning the validity of her claims on national television.
