Bodies are giving up at the end of the season, symbol of a busy year for many players on the circuit. Some take advantage of it, like Corentin Moutet who has just won his third consecutive match in Metz by forfeit.
Never two without three. Already happy during qualifying for the <a href="https://www.archysport.com/2022/01/job-offer-interim-court-maintenance-employee-roland-garros/" title="Job offer (interim): Court maintenance employee – Roland-Garros“>Rolex Paris Masters, Corentin Moutet took advantage of the retirements of the Spaniard Munar and the Czech Mensik to reach the final table. In both matches, it was after contested first sets that his affected opponents threw in the towel.
Competing at the ATP 250 in Metz for the last tournament of the season, the Tricolore, hero of the last Roland-Garros, found the Indian Summit Nagal whom he already faced at the Paris Olympics. Same scenario, after a competitive first round won by the Frenchman, who scored some good points (7-5). In the second set, his opponent, worn out, struggled to get back on track and cover the ground before… calling it quits at 4-0. In the second round, Corentin Moutet will face the winner of the match between the naturalized Russian Kazakh Shevchenko and the German Struff.
