'Sunday, He Is Fu**ed' - Corentin Moutet's Coach Urges Fans To Taunt French Open Opponent - UBITENNIS
Tennis ATP In an extraordinary interview with Tennis Majors, the coach of world No.79 Corentin Moutet says he hopes the French Open crowd give Nicolas Jarry

“The fans (in Santiago) were behaving like a bunch of animals,” Popovic told Tennis Majors. “The worst possible behaviour you can get at a tennis match. It was like football, they insulted Corentin non-stop. They swore at him between points, they booed or whistled as he was about to serve.”
“When (Corentin) went to the toilet after the first set, some fans even threatened him. Then I had to threaten them, so they changed their tune. Really ugly atmosphere to play in, and we basically had two-three members of security, around 65 years old, by us.”
Popovic praised Jarry’s father for trying to calm the situation but criticises the tennis player for failing to ‘step up’ and challenge the behaviour of his home fans. He was also accused of calling Moutet ‘pathetic’ following their clash.
Popovic hopes that the Parisien crowd will give Jarry a taste of his own medicine on Sunday when they play against each other. Their match will be the fourth to be play on the Simonne Mathieu stadium.
“All in all – Sunday, he (Jarry) is fu**ed! He made his own bed.” He said.
“We won that match in Santiago, but we were so disgusted with everything that we even had a conversation: when he comes to Paris, there will be hell waiting. And I really hope that the hell will await, so that Jarry grows sick of tennis at least for a few weeks.”
“Tennis-wise, it’s a complicated first round, Jarry played really great in Rome (he reached the final, editor’s note), but we’ll see.”
