Corentin Moutet expressed anger following Danielle Collins’ public disclosure of his alleged failed attempts at flirting. Collins, serving as an analyst at the Miami Open due to an injury, diverted her attention to a different topic recently.
The 32-year-old American, currently sidelined, has been providing commentary for the Tennis Channel at the Miami event, causing a bit of commotion on Sunday with her remarks involving French player Moutet.
Moutet, ranked No.33 globally, defeated Tomas Machac on the previous day. However, it was the interactions between him and Collins before the match that caught the pundit’s interest. Collins did not hesitate to share the details in a candid segment on the Tennis Channel.
During the segment, presenter Steve Weissman recounted an incident where Moutet was seen shouting and trying to get Collins’ attention during his practice session. Collins then humorously responded by implying that Moutet needed to improve his tennis skills, particularly his serve, if he intended to flirt with her.
Collins mentioned that Moutet had unfollowed her after a previous exchange where she stated her preference for taller individuals. Despite Moutet’s victory, Collins remained unconvinced of his chances with her, emphasizing the need for significant qualities to capture her interest.
Moutet, standing at 5’11, was slated to face off against world No.1 Jannik Sinner, although he took time to refute Collins’ account of the incident on social media.
In his response, Moutet denied following Collins and criticized the Tennis Channel for allowing false claims to be broadcast. He urged Collins to focus on self-love rather than resorting to attention-seeking actions.
