Three days after his bloodshed against Adrian Andreev at the Orleans Open, Corentin Moutet said all the bad things he thought of his opponent.
The two oppositions lost in the space of a week by Corentin Moutet against Adrian Andreev left traces in the mind of the French tennis player. Already beaten in Genoa by his opponent, the 64th player in the world fell again against the Russian on Wednesday, this time on the side of Orleans. At the time of the handshake, the two men actually came close to fighting, before the referee quickly descends from his chair to separate them. Three days after the events, the native of Neuilly-sur-Seine mentioned the scene.

And obviously, Corentin Moutet does not carry Adrian Andreev more in his heart. Guest Saturday on RMC, he recounted his state of mind at the time and after. ” The way it happened at the end of the match, I was surprised, I think like everyone else, at his reaction to him because he had won. I was very frustrated to lose this last point, I just wanted to leave as soon as it was over. I wanted to shake his hand quickly, shake the referee’s hand and leave. […] Moi I don’t like the person and I don’t like the way he behaves. For me he doesn’t respect me. »
“I regret for the children”
And if the French took it upon himself when tightening the grip on his executioner of the day, it was first for the public. ” I was going to make it right, shake his hand, shake the referee’s hand for the audience, because he had seen a great game. I go to shake his hand quietly and I see that he is gaining momentum to shake my hand, so at that point I more or less understand. […] There are 3000 people in the room and there are children (…). Of course, I feel sorry for the children because it’s a bad example. That’s the only reason I’m sorry because adults are old enough to understand these things.«
