The Frenchman surprised the audience in Chengdu by serving multiple underhand serves. With humor, he acknowledged that this shot worked better than his usual serve.
In the first round of the ATP 250 in Chengdu in 2023, Corentin Moutet defeated the Chinese wildcard MuTao in two sets (6-2, 6-3). During the match, he decided to execute several underhand serves which proved successful.

He had to explain this new strategy in a post-match interview on the court: "I've worked on it a lot. It works better than my normal serve. I should do it much more. Maybe on every point in the future."
Since then, Moutet regularly uses the underhand serve to try and surprise his opponents during his matches.
