“RIDICULOUS”: Corentin Moutet, Quentin Halys comes to defence of Carlos Alcaraz after criticism from former rugby player
ATPWednesday, 08 May 2024 at 10:50
French tennis players Corentin Moutet and Quentin Halys defended the current world number two Carlos Alcaraz after he was criticised by former rugby player Vincent Moscato.
The 20-year-old is often regarded as one of the most high-profile
players currently playing in the men’s singles category, along with Italy’s
Jannik Sinner.
Alcaraz has struggled with a forearm injury that ruled him out of the Monte-Carlo Masters, Barcelona Open, and Rome Masters. He recently took part in the Madrid Open, but his journey came to an end when he lost in the quarterfinal to Russia’s Andrey Rublev with a score
of 4-6, 6-3, 6-2.
After the match, Alcaraz, during the press conference, admitted that he felt forearm pain once again during the match, which prevented him from giving his all to a tough opponent.
In a show called Super Moscato Show, Moscato criticised the
two-time Grand Slam winner and called him a ‘crumbling candy cane’.
“We’re not going to get bored, it’s in the old pots that we
make the good soups, so I think that Djoko is the thing and that with all the
injured people, I’m putting a post on Djokovic,” he said. “Poor Alcaraz is a crumbling candy cane. His
forearm hurts, it looks like a 78-year-old guy’s game. At 20, your arm doesn’t
hurt a lot.
Carlos Alcaraz has now missed three ATP events this year because of a forearm injury
“Alcaraz, do you see him as Nadal’s successor? Listen to me,
I’ll eat a rat if one day he’s a successor. He will win three Grand Slams, no
more. He is the successor of Henri Leconte.”
Moutet immediately responded to such criticism on the social media platform X—previously known as Twitter—writing: “We give too much of a voice to people without any high-level knowledge. Sitting in their seats and being paid to say anything. Alala.” Halys, on the other hand, decided to respond with fewer words by writing: “RIDICULOUS GROTESQUE NULL
PATHETIC.”

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
