A public disagreement has unfolded between American tennis player Danielle Collins and French player Corentin Moutet following Collins’ claims of unwanted attention from Moutet. The exchange began during Collins’ broadcasting duties at the Miami Open and quickly escalated across social media.

Collins’ Initial Claims

While working as a commentator for Tennis Channel, Collins recounted an incident involving Moutet. She stated that Moutet shouted in her direction from the court during his warm-up for a Miami Open match. Collins responded by saying, I said to him, if you’re going to be flirting with me like that, you’re gonna have to get a bigger serve. 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.”

Collins further elaborated on the situation, referencing her recent viral dating profile where she expressed a preference for taller partners. She claimed Moutet unfollowed me after my viral dating profile when I said I wasn’t interested in the short kings. She continued, Reach on people, you have to understand that I’m 5 (foot) 10 (inches), and for me, it’s fair. It’s just a preference. Nothing against the short kings, but he was upset about that. He messaged me, then unfollowed me.

Moutet’s Response

Moutet swiftly and strongly denied Collins’ accusations. He responded on social media, stating, You are ready to say anything so people talk about you. He also questioned Collins’ account, asking, How can I stop following you if I never followed you? and Tennis Channel… How can they allow someone to say such nonsense on television?. Moutet insisted, You followed me. You asked me for mixed doubles. And I didn’t even follow you..

The Backstory

Collins, currently sidelined due to injury, is working as a broadcaster during the Miami Open. The dispute arose after she shared the story live on air. Moutet, who won his match despite the unfolding drama, reportedly slid back into the DMs last night, asking me if I saw his match and all the big serves he was hitting yesterday, according to Collins.
