Fans should have more freedom at matches, says Moutet

In an interview with Boîte à Questions on Canal Plus, the left-handed star spoke on some changes he would like to see in tennis. Moutet believes tennis events should be made more enjoyable for fans, with the inclusion of food and live music in the stands.

"I am in favor of tennis becoming more accessible to people, less complex, less sectarian," said Moutet." I would even say that we give access to more people. I think it has to be more of a show, more of a way for people to express themselves, so that they can have more fun.
"I find them too restricted when they watch tennis matches. I am in favor of there being more of an atmosphere, of there being food in the stadiums, of there being music. I am in favor of it living."
