It was tense Thursday between the French Corentin Moutet and the Bulgarian Adrian Andreev. The two men indeed failed to put themselves on the muzzle at the end of their round of 16 of the challenger tournament of Orleans. While Andreev (247th in the world) had just won 2-6, 7-6 (7/3), 7-6 (7/2), the two players jostled each other when shaking hands and l he referee even had to get down from his chair to intervene. Things are back to normal and everyone has returned to the locker room on their side.
But the confusion did not stop there and found an extension on social networks, Moutet immediately publishing a message on his Instagram account to explain, in his own style, that he wanted “not to apologize for what happened at the end of the match”. “When a player allows himself to say ‘fuck you’ twice while looking me in the eye, I can’t help but make him understand in my own way that these are not things that are done”.
Moutet awaits Andreev “impatiently”
Hot as embers, the Frenchman did not stop there, explaining that he waited for the Bulgarian – at his request – at the exit of the locker room, in vain, the latter being “hidden behind six security people”. “I heard your threats, so when you get out of the room where they hid you, I’ll be happy to see you carry them out.” So I’m looking forward to you, we can chat calmly, ”wrote Moutet, before concluding with a clown head emoji.
