Corentin Moutet nearly fought with Adrian Andreev after their match at the Orleans challenger and he explained why on social media.
It was a heated clash between the two and the Bulgarian certainly stunned Moutet and the crowd by winning the match. After the match, the players engaged in a tussle with the umpire having to separate them in order to avoid a fight happening.
Moutet took to social media to explain what had happened:
"I wish to make no apologies for what happened late in the game. When a player says "f*** you", twice while looking at me in the eye, I can't help but make him understand in my own way that that is not done."
He continued:
"You (the crowd) applauded the player at the end of the match. Maybe, for you these are acceptable things. For me, no. In any case, he threatened me and asked me to wait at the exit of the court which I obviously did. I had trouble finding him for 10 minutes. Indeed, he was hidden on the other side by 6 security people. I heard your threats so when you get out of the room where they hid you, I'll be happy to see you carry them out. So, I'm waiting impatiently, we can talk calmly."
