In the world of tennis, the unexpected can often become the norm. A curious training technique recently employed by Iga Swiatek has stirred both intrigue among players and fans alike. Swiatek, known for her rising star status in the tennis world, was spotted practicing with her mouth taped during a training session in Montreal.

This distinctive regimen, aimed at improving endurance, has not only intrigued her fellow players but also sparked a cheeky response from the lesser known challenger level controversial French tennis player, Corentin Moutet.

Moutet’s playful reaction to Swiatek’s unsual training regimen

Iga Swiatek is known for always trying new things to improve her tennis skills. Recently, she did something interesting during her training: she put tape on her mouth. She said her team suggested this unique method to help her play longer and better on the tennis court. In her own words, “I don’t get it either. No, but, it’s harder to breathe when you’re only breathing with your nose and it’s easier for my heart rate to go up, you know? And I think it has something to do with endurance, but I am not gonna explain you properly, because I’m not an expert.” as reported by FOX News

When a picture of Swiatek in that peculiar practice session was posted on Twitter, it immediately caught the attention of everyone, including Corentin Moutet, a controversial figure in the world of Challenger-level tennis, Moutet cheekily retweeted the post of Swiatek, captioning it: “I should maybe try”

Moutet’s antics that landed him in trouble earlier

What Moutet retweeted carries more weight than meets the eye. His reputation for controversy takes on a different implication here: a light-hearted joke inspired by a fellow player’s team’s innovative idea. Moutet was sacked by The French Tennis Federation in November 2022 for his behavior and for his actions on the court after a match, where impending tensions got slightly physical. His antics, where pushing and cursing an opponent he lost to landed him in a world of trouble in the tennis circuit

In a sport that constantly pushes the boundaries of tradition and innovation, Swiatek’s approach to solutions has become the latest talking point. As fans discuss the potential pros and cons of this unique approach and Moutet’s cheeky answers just add to the fun
