French tennis player, quarantine Moutet, ranked world number 33, fired back at Daniel Collins after she shared a story about him on the tennis channel. Collins claimed Moutet flirted with her during practice, then slid into her direct messages following her comments about not dating shorter guys and needing a bigger serve to catch her interest. She tied it to his recent match win and her old dating profile that mentioned wanting a traditional family life. Earlier this week on air, Collins described the exchange with her co-hosts, linking it to attention her profile got last year and Moutet supposed. Unfollow after she shut down the idea. The segment got awkward as she joked about big forehands and serves mattering more than height or personality. Tennis fans quickly picked up on the drama, with Moutet responding directly on social media to call her claims total nonsense. He pointed out he never followed her account that she actually followed him and once asked

A community note soon appeared on the tennis channel video, backing Moutet's denial, while her co-hosts wrapped up by saying the topic stirred strong. Reactions either way. Collins, who stepped away from retirement last year after fertility challenges and health issues, is now skipping the early part of the 20. 26 seasons to recover from a back injury and handle egg freezing. Moutet moves on to face number two, Janik Stinner and Miami Next.
