Corentin Moutet never fails to put on a show, for better or for worse. This time it happened in his second-round match at the 2025 Miami Open against Alejandro Tabilo when he clashed with the crowd, which was mostly Chilean. It all unfolded in the second set of the match when the Frenchman started gesturing towards the crowd whenever Tabilo missed a shot. However, when the Chilean had a set point, the crowd went wild, and one spectator made an obscene gesture towards Moutet. He noticed the gesture and went to complain to the chair umpire. Furthermore, he stated that he wouldn't resume playing until that person left the court, but the umpire, seeing no movement from the person in question, penalized him with a point, leading to the set for Tabilo.
Moutet continued to protest and requested the intervention of the supervisor because he still refused to play after what had happened. However, once again, the umpire penalized him, believing that the Frenchman was taking too long to start the third set, this time with a game penalty. Moutet couldn't believe it and kept demanding explanations from the supervisor. In the end, Moutet carried on playing but added another surreal scene to the tennis court.
