(VIDEO) Most bizarre interruption ever in Corentin Moutet v Novak Djokovic as Frenchman's phone alarm goes off mid match at Rome Open

Corentin Moutet is known as a real tennis showman whether it is asking for Pepsi or coffee on court. But he unintentionally provided the entertainment on Friday night in one of the biggest matches of his career at the Rome Open against Novak Djokovic.

Moutet was preparing to serve and getting himself ready and his phone alarm started to go off in his bag. Djokovic didn't get annoyed and simply just looked over with pure hilarity at what was going on as Moutet had to turn off his phone.

Is this the most bizarre tennis interruption of all time? It could be. It didn't prove to be that good of an omen for Moutet as he lost the first set with relative ease 6-3 as Djokovic begins his campaign in Rome and his first tournament since March as the favourite.
