Video - Moutet's Monstrous Defense Against Opelka in Paris!

Corentin Moutet faces Reilly Opelka in his opening match at the Rolex Paris Masters.

Against the American giant, a lucky loser, Moutet had to use his movement quality to counter his opponent's power.

Despite conceding the first set (6-3), the 26-year-old player fought back into the match, more effective behind his first serve and unbreakable on his own service games (0 break points conceded).

Proof of this came at 6-5 on Opelka's serve in the second set. After a very powerful serve from his opponent, Moutet covered a large part of the court before winning the point with a sumptuous backhand passing shot.

As a reminder, Moutet is on a very good run: on the verge of the top 30, he just reached the final of the Almaty tournament.
