Amid these tennis-less days, Serena Williams’ coach Patrick Mouratoglou has come up with a fascinating tennis event called Ultimate Tennis Showdown. The event is taking place in his academy in Nice, France, and the top ten players Matteo Berrettini and Stefanos Tsitsipas are participating in the tournament.
On Sunday the Greek god Tsitsipas was playing against Corentin Moutet and the duo was indulged in a heated exchange in the middle of the match.
As the rules of the tournament allow on-court coaching and loud cheering. In the midst of one of the rallies, Tsitsipas’ father Apostolos Tsitsipas was uttering a few words while Moutet was serving. He was just cheering for his son Stefanos, but Corentin was annoyed.
The quarrel between Corentin Moutet and Stefanos Tsitsipas
That act happened to irk the Frenchman, following that Moutet exchanged blows with the Greek lad Tsitsipas on the court all due to the interruption. At UTS, the players speak to commentators of the match during the changeovers and during that conversation, Moutet mentioned Stefanos’ father was ‘pissing him off.’
“Stefanos is a good guy, but his father is stupid. Everyone thinks he’s stupid. He pisses me off. He talks all the time when I serve. He pisses me off. He is not respectful. He only thinks of himself,” Moutet told the commentators of the match.
However, World Number six Stefanos stated it was not a big deal, his father was encouraging him. But his opponent was finding it to be disturbing. In reality, his father has no intention to interrupt in between the points.
This escalated quickly 😳
