Moutet recently thrust this simmering discontent into the limelight through a Twitter exchange. The catalyst for this digital skirmish was a tweet from Pavvy G, a die-hard Djokovic fan.

He tweeted: “😂😂😂this guy is born to defend someone that doesn’t even know him. C’mon brother there is a life out there enjoy lifeee.” He dismissed the intensity of Pavvy G’s concern. However, the exchange didn’t end there. Another fan jumped into the fray, challenging Moutet’s perspective.
