(VIDEO) "I lost my mind, didn’t know which tactic to try": Moutet reveals rationale behind baffling underarm serve losing to Isner in Newport
ATPThursday, 20 July 2023 at 16:00
French tennis player Corentin Moutet has revealed the reason
behind producing an underarm serve in the Hall of Fame Open.
The 24-year-old produced an unconventional serve during the
match against America’s John Isner in the second-round clash.
Moutet, while responding to a video shared on the social media
platform Twitter, stated that he did that because of his opponent who was
simply too hot to handle.
"Guy was too good haha I lost my mind didn't know which
tactic to try anymore. Congrats to him," he tweeted.
Moutet was correct as he was clearly the second-best in the
clash and was defeated in straight sets with a score of 6-4, 6-4.
The result would’ve been a disappointing one for Moutet who is
just coming on the back of a disappointing Wimbledon 2023.
The Neuilly-sur-Seine-born faced an exit from the men’s
singles category second round of the third Grand Slam of the year after losing
to Russia’s Roman Safiullin with a score of 7-5, 6-3, 7-6.
In the men’s doubles category, it wasn’t any better for Moutet
as he was knocked out from the first round along with his partner Constant
Lestienne lost to the American duo of Reese Stalder and David Pel in straight sets with
a score of 6-3, 6-2.
