Corentin Moutet expressed anger following public comments made by Danielle Collins regarding his alleged unsuccessful attempts at flirtation. Collins, serving as a pundit at the Miami Open due to an injury, diverted her focus to a different topic recently.
The 32-year-old American, sidelined from playing, was providing analysis for the Tennis Channel in Miami when she brought attention to Moutet over the weekend.
Moutet, ranked No.33 globally, had defeated Tomas Machac on Saturday, but it was the pre-match incident that caught Collins’ notice. During a segment on the Tennis Channel, she openly discussed the situation.
Presenter Steve Weissman initiated the discussion by recounting an interaction between Moutet and Collins where Moutet was shouting flirtatious remarks at Collins during his warm-up, prompting Collins to respond humorously by linking his flirting to the need for a stronger serve.
Collins shared further details, mentioning that Moutet had unfollowed her after a social media post about her preference for taller individuals went viral. Despite Moutet trying to re-engage with her after his successful match, Collins remained unconvinced of his chances.
Moutet, who stands at 5’11, was slated to face off against world No.1 Jannik Sinner, yet he took the time to address Collins’ account of the incident with a strong rebuttal on Sunday, denying her claims and criticizing the Tennis Channel for allowing such statements to be aired.
