Corentin Moutet was in top form this afternoon, but not because of his tennis.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Instead, the lively character will likely make headlines for his theatrical antics throughout the match, particularly as it neared its conclusion.<\/p>\n

As the clash reached boiling point and Jacob Fearnley neared the finish line, it felt like Moutet was unravelling.<\/p>\n

This was perfectly evidenced in a third-set incident which one commentator suggested might land him in \u2018all sorts of trouble\u2019.<\/p>\n

Corentin Moutet reacts angrily to being broken by Jacob Fearnley<\/strong><\/p>\n

Having been broken by the Scotsman in the second set, Moutet was furious. He exhibited this by launching one of the balls outside of the Andy Murray Arena.<\/p>\n

Sam Smith, the lead commentator, claimed: \u2018There\u2019s been an ongoing dialogue over the last 90 minutes or so between Corentin and umpire Nour.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018And a chance for Fearnley to break here\u2026 And he\u2019s got it!<\/p>\n

\u2018Moutet is going to be in all sorts of trouble here.\u2019<\/p>\n

John Lloyd then chimed in, adding: \u2019Well, he certainly made sure he didn\u2019t hit anybody with that ball in the stand. He hit it about half a mile away. This one went a long way up.<\/p>\n

\u2018You have to be careful when you do that. I remember in the Davis Cup, [Denis] Shapovalov did that, didn\u2019t get the angle right and smacked it straight at the umpire.\u2019<\/p>\n

Smith then noted: \u2018The minute you start pinging the ball around, even if it\u2019s at the back netting or into the stand, you\u2019re in big trouble. That\u2019s an automatic warning. It was very good umpiring from Adel Nour who\u2019s tried to defuse the situation, it\u2019s always going to be tricky.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\u2018With Corentin, he is the sort of enfant terrible of French tennis. He lives up to that label.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018Any more infringements and he\u2019ll be deducted a point, then it\u2019s a game, then it\u2019s a default. Let\u2019s hope we don\u2019t get anywhere near that kind of chart sheet.\u2019<\/p>\n

Unsurprisingly, the home support jeered and booed such an action from the pantomime villain of the afternoon.<\/p>\n

The Queen\u2019s crowd revelled in Corentin Moutet\u2019s fury<\/strong><\/p>\n

In typically British fashion, the Queen\u2019s<\/a> crowd revelled in Moutet\u2019s growing frustration.<\/p>\n

Particularly in his final service game, the Frenchman grew more and more angered by the chattering from the stands, made worse when one fan exclaimed that he wanted to \u2018go home\u2019.<\/p>\n

Drawing laughs from the rest of the crowd, Moutet was not happy, yet was handed a time violation for his complaints to the umpire at this distraction.<\/p>\n

This only increased the mischief from the London support, particularly when the 26-year-old did a 360 spin whilst hitting one of his shots. He then launched into a tirade during the changeover, before Fearnley served out the match in the following game.<\/p>\n

This marks another notch in the Jacob Fearnley story<\/a>, which is only going from strength to strength.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Corentin Moutet was in top form this afternoon, but not because of his tennis.
