Moutet: "When it's me

Carlos Alcaraz surprised many at the Cincinnati tournament.

Known for his fair play and ability to hold his nerve, the Spaniard went off the rails.

Faced with an excellent Gaël Monfils, and plunged into a match where he was far from his best and where the playing conditions didn't suit him, Alcaraz cracked in the last set.

Having just been broken (4-6, 7-6, 3-1), the El Palmar native exploded his racket on the court. An uncharacteristic image.

Corentin Moutet had a few words to say on the subject. Without damning Alcaraz, the Frenchman was keen to point out the difference in reaction from one player to another.

Drawing on the commentator's reaction that "it was a positive thing and he desperately wanted to win the match", Moutet declared: "When it's me, we talk about mental problems.

I'm not judging Carlos here, of course. He's already a legend and he's behaving incredibly.

I don't care how different the commentator's reaction can be to the same gesture."

why did tennis tonic void predictions on the match between Chwalinska and Huergo at the Quito tournament? The match was played to completion and on time. If TT feels the match is one sided, and of course it was, then don't put it up for prediction. This is getting irritating.

The finals are here, and we scramble for the best finish. I've been chasing "King" all year and I was able to shrink the spread a little. Skelp is also closing the gap.

Seasons best to all the regulars in our league.

Will you all be back in the new year.?

Steffi Graf completed a Golden Slam (not just a career Grand Slam) when she was 19. She is the only person to accomplish that, winning the four majors plus Olympic gold the same calendar year.
