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.’
