Collins is working as a pundit at the Miami Open, but turned her analysis to a very different subject over the weekend.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">The 32-year-old American is out injured, so has had a microphone, rather than a tennis racquet in hand in Miami. And her work for the Tennis Channel caused a bit of stir on Sunday, with French star Moutet thrust into the spotlight.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Moutet, the <a aria-label=\"\" class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mirror.co.uk\/news\/world-news\/\" rel=\"follow nofollow noopener\" tabindex=\"0\" target=\"\">world<\/a> No.33, beat Tomas Machac on Saturday &#8211; but it was the events before that match which got Collins&#8217; attention. She wasn&#8217;t shy in explaining the situation in a tell-all segment on the Tennis Channel.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Presenter Steve Weissman began: &#8220;So yesterday at the beginning of the show, Danielle, Corentin Moutet was practising, getting ready for his match, and he was shouting at you, he was cat-calling you, he was saying &#8216;give me a come on, give me a let&#8217;s go&#8217;.

Some people think it comes down to height, some people think it comes down to personality, but really what it comes down to is big forehands and big serves.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Asked if that is what she needed to get flirted with, Collins replied: &#8220;Around here, yes. But yeah, it was kind of funny too because he unfollowed me after my darting profile went viral when I said I wasn&#8217;t interested in the short kings.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">&#8220;You have to understand that I&#8217;m 5&#8217;10, and for me, right, it&#8217;s fair. It&#8217;s just a preference, I have nothing against the short kings. But he was upset about that and he messaged me and unfollowed me.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Corentin Moutet \" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/0_GettyImages-2261803225.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p aria-label=\"Corentin Moutet's serve is not big enough for Danielle Collins\" class=\"ImageCaption_caption-title__ccyQU\" data-testid=\"caption-title\">Corentin Moutet&#8217;s serve is not big enough for Danielle Collins(Image: Mauricio Paiz\/NurPhoto via Getty Images)<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">&#8220;He slid back into the DMs last night asking me if I saw his match and all the big serves that he was hitting. He did win yesterday.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Asked if that made a difference to her thoughts, she said: &#8220;I don&#8217;t think he has a chance yet. He would have to bring a lot to the table, so I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s going to happen, but who knows. We&#8217;ll see.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Moutet &#8211; who is listed at 5&#8217;11 &#8211; should have been preparing for a match against world No.1 Jannik Sinner. But he still found time to post a furious response to Collins&#8217; version of events on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">&#8220;How can I unfollow you when I never followed you,&#8221; he wrote. &#8220;@TennisChannel how can you let someone say BS like this on tv?
