"I will work hard to get an other opportunity": Corentin Moutet apologises for poor performance in defeat to Novak Djokovic in Rome Open

French tennis player Corentin Moutet has apologised for his performance
in the Rome Open second round. The 25-year-old lost in the round of 64 to the
current world number one Serbia’s Novak Djokovic in straight sets with a score
of 6-3, 6-1.
The 24-time Grand Slam winner proved too hot to handle for
the French player as he produced 13 winners, six more than his opponent.
Djokovic was far more disciplined as well as he committed 17 unforced errors,
eight fewer than Moutet. After the match, the Neuilly-sur-Seine-born player, who
defeated Roman Safiullin in the round of 128 of the mega-event with a score of
3-6, 7-6, 6-2, posted a message on his official account on the social media
platform X — previously known as Twitter — where he apologised the fans for his
performance on the day.
"Sorry about my performance tonight. I wish I could
give you and him a better battle but I didn’t manage to do it. Nothing but
respect to Novak of course for all he achieved and what he is doing for the
players and tennis. I will work hard to get an other opportunity to play
against him again. See you next time, Le chemin continue Thank you for the
support 🙏," he wrote.
