This first day of the Davis Cup Finals 2025 had a clear protagonist, although not for positive reasons. It was Corentin Moutet who made the headlines after a bizarre move that led to his defeat against Raphael Collignon. A defeat that cost France the match against Belgium. Hours later, Paul Henri Mathieu was asked about that specific play. What did he say?

"I haven't seen Corentin yet, but I won't say more. If I want to tell something to my players, I'll say it directly to them, not to the media. Regarding that specific moment, there was no reaction at all, he just lost a point, the important thing was to keep fighting for the match. Everyone reacts differently, so I'll try to help him now," confessed the French captain.

The final phase of the 2025 Davis Cup kicked off with the match between France and Belgium, where Raphael Collignon defeated Corentin Moutet in the first showdown of the tie (2-6, 7-5, 7-5). Beyond the scoreline, it is worth noting what happened right at the end of the second set, where the French player missed an easy point at 15-15 by trying a fancy shot, a foolish move that should never be attempted in crucial moments. Moutet's mind let him down, and he started to decline from that point onward. If there is no comeback from France, he will find it hard to sleep tonight.

The controversy between Alexander Bublik and Corentin Moutet continues two days after their match at the ATP Rolex Paris Masters 2025. Now it has been the Kazakh who has once again recalled the Frenchman's previous statements. "I never speak in that way before a match or disrespect any opponent. I can do it during the match if they are behaving badly towards me or acting strangely; I am not afraid to say what I think. When I heard his statements, I didn't understand why he did it, because he put himself in that position, especially when you can lose in front of your fans, he added extra pressure. And then I asked him at the net if he wanted to continue with this game, and he didn't answer," said the world number 16.

It was clear that in the showdown between Alexander Bublik and Corentin Moutet, the spiciest duel of the day, sparks were going to fly. The Frenchman heated up the match by stating that the stands would be a cauldron and that he would send the Kazakh home. However, Bublik was the one who clinched the victory (6-3, 7-5) and didn't hesitate to send him a message in the on-court interview: "Obviously, he talked too much before the match. He talked too much. I had no other option but to punish him." Additionally, he was asked about his signature to the camera, where he wrote 'on the way home': "He said he would do everything possible to send me home. So, it's good that he lives in Paris and is not far away by taxi."

The duel between the two most virtuous tennis players on the circuit, with Carlos Alcaraz's permission, took place in the second round of the ATP Rolex Paris Masters 2025: Alexander Bublik and Corentin Moutet, with stands that didn't stop cheering for the Frenchman, who heated up the match with his pre-match statements. But the Kazakh didn't flinch and once again showed a solid and convincing performance, in line with what he has displayed for most of the season, winning 6-3, 7-5 after an hour and 38 minutes. He now awaits Taylor Fritz in the round of 16.

There will be a lot of spice in the second round duel of the 2025 ATP Rolex Paris Masters between two of the most controversial players on the circuit who had a tough fight months ago. Corentin Moutet will face Alexander Bublik, whom he spoke openly about in a press conference. "We know he is very provocative with the other players, disrespects other tennis players. We have had disagreements in the past because he does not represent my values as an athlete. I will be super motivated to send him home with the help of the crowd," he concluded.

It's not normal to face the same player in two consecutive weeks, but destiny has determined that Daniil Medvedev and Corentin Moutet did so in recent days. The Russian won the final in Almaty last Sunday, but this Thursday it was the Frenchman who took revenge in the round of 16 in Vienna. How did he do it?

"I learned some details that I hadn't considered in the final on Sunday. In the end, it all comes down to the details, but I think I played well in Almaty. At this level, everything is played in the details, so today I tried to be more aggressive and put pressure on every ball, maybe I also served better. In summary, I tried to do it better," stated the Frenchman on Ubitennis.
