“It’s unfortunate because there was not a pleasant atmosphere. I like playing in Chile, in the qualifying and in all my matches, they supported me because I opened my heart, I gave a lot to the people, and shared with them. Sport is made for that. My coach and my family are here, I know what I did right or wrong and today I did everything right”, Moutet said during an interview after the match.

Corentin Moutet said that Jarry labeled him as ‘pathetic’, although he wasn’t sure why, as he felt he had done nothing wrong. Further explanation from the French professional tennis player captured even more attention.
“He said ‘pathetic’, I don’t know why. I behaved well. There were so many people against me, booing, making noise when I was serving. So I think I didn’t do anything ‘pathetic’. I think I survived well, I played good. You should ask him why he said that. We are not exactly best friends on tour, actually I don’t know him well ”, Moutet disclosed in the post-game interview.
