Corentin Moutet expressed anger following Danielle Collins’ public disclosure of an alleged unsuccessful flirtation incident. Collins, serving as a commentator at the Miami Open due to her injury, shifted her focus from tennis to personal interactions over the past weekend.
Despite being sidelined with an injury, the 32-year-old American has been providing insights as a pundit for the Tennis Channel at the Miami tournament. However, her commentary took an unexpected turn on Sunday, drawing attention to French player Moutet.
Moutet, currently ranked world No.33, secured a victory against Tomas Machac on Saturday, but it was the pre-match events that caught Collins’ interest. She candidly detailed the situation during a segment on the Tennis Channel.
During the broadcast, presenter Steve Weissman highlighted an incident involving Moutet, stating that he was vocal and seemingly flirtatious towards Collins before his match. Collins recounted her response, mentioning that she humorously told Moutet that he needed a stronger serve if he intended to flirt with her. She emphasized that attributes like powerful forehands and serves were essential.
When asked if these qualities were necessary for romantic interest, Collins humorously indicated that they were indeed crucial in her perspective. She also mentioned Moutet’s reaction to her previous comments about preferring taller individuals, which led to him unfollowing her on social media.
Despite preparing for a match against world No.1 Jannik Sinner, Moutet, who stands at 5’11, took the time to address Collins’ account on Sunday, denying her claims and criticizing the Tennis Channel for allowing misleading statements.
