Sport is often based on resultsbut on rare occasions you look at the entire journey completed and the Goals achieved. On this occasion, although Corentin Moutet (79th in the ATP ranking) could not face Jannik Sinner (2nd) for the round of 16 of Roland Garroshe took with him a great week and good feelings for the rest of the season.
After the 2-6, 6-3, 6-2 and 6-1 defeat, the French tennis player spoke at a press conference about his fall against the Italian: “It was more complicated after the first set, obviously. I was very aggressive at the beginning of the set and then I couldn’t sustain it. As soon as I could attack I did, It requires a lot of concentration and energy to always be looking for that ball to attack.. That’s what I tried to do. I didn’t know how to play, but I knew he was very aggressive, so if I let him play it would be difficult. “I couldn’t do it long enough to win the match.”
“I went out on the field to play a game and give my best. I think I could have played better today, but I can’t rewrite history. It’s done. I went out on the field believing in myself, convinced that he could win. I was leading a set and a break and couldn’t do better. But It will be for another time. In any case, It was a great pleasure to play on all these great Roland Garros courts“said the talented left-hander, who put the result aside and put his good attitude on the table against the world number two, recent Australian Open champion.
One of the things that was most highlighted in his words was the fact that he wanted to change his image as a bad and problematic boy, in order to show what he truly is: “I didn’t receive any warning in four games, which doesn’t happen to me often.” . I am happy and I hope to have changed a little the image that people gave me. I discovered a different audience, I hope people also discover me in a different way.”
However, the calendar continues, which is why those already eliminated in the French brick dust will have to focus on the remainder of the calendar, with another Grand Slam appearing and the Olympics. just around the corner: “I will surely play Wimbledonbut I don’t know about the previous tournaments. I have to rest a little because I worked a lot to try to get to the Olympic Games, which is not very advisable for my body.. “I’m going to rest a little bit and then get back to work real quick.”
