Corentin Moutet didn't win the final in Almaty, but his speech left a lasting impression. The Frenchman spoke of sacrifices, family, and pride, paying tribute to all the players on the tour and his opponent Daniil Medvedev.

Beaten for the second time this year in an ATP tournament final, Corentin Moutet can still be proud of his week in Almaty. Before the final against Daniil Medvedev, the Frenchman hadn't dropped a single set along the way.

He delivered a speech filled with sincerity when receiving his runner-up trophy:

"We've been playing a lot since a very young age, we've made many sacrifices. I'm not just talking about myself, but about all the players. We often leave home very young, we leave our families, our friends to be here and pursue our dreams.

We're lucky to be here. On behalf of all the players, we can be proud of ourselves. I feel like I got a bit lost (in my words), but I'm proud of myself, proud of my team, and proud of you Daniil. I hope to come back here. Thank you for your support.

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.?
