- French Coretin Moutet is halfway with a loaded confrontation with Pavel Kotov
- The 26 -year -old man made the allegation on social networks before later abolishing the post
A French tennis player said that he had received a threat from death to the net by his opponent in a Challenger tournament on Wednesday afternoon.
Corentin Moutet participated in Open Aix Provence Credit Agricole in Aix-en-Provence this week, playing its link in the first round against Pavel Kotov.
A place in the second round remains at stake for the two players, with a bad light having suspended their fight at 7-5, 3-6 at Moutet, and with the third set at 5-5.
But the 26 -year -old may still not be returned to compete with his Russian opponent, after alleging that Kotov said he would kill him ‘if he returned with him to the net.
In an article on social networks which was then deleted by the player, Moutet said that Kotov said to him: “The next time you arrive at the net, I will kill you.
“One day, someone will kill you.”
Corentin Moutet suggested that he had given death threats on Wednesday
The former world No50 Pavel Kotov would have told Moutet that he was going to be “ killed ”
Moutet published and later deleted allegations on the social media site X, before redoing them when published elsewhere
Directing the rest of the post in his disciples and the ATP, Moutet added: “There was not even a warning. Apparently, these words are authorized in the court.
“How (ATP) do you expect what I don’t get involved if you don’t do your job?”
After deleting the social media message, Moutet later returned to the platform to reshape a report of events, adding: “I’m going to have trouble sleeping …”
No121 World Kotov did not publicly respond to allegations.
But the pair will be forced to continue its confrontation Thursday afternoon.
Moutet has often courted the controversy during the tennis tour, more recently curled up in a force test with the world No75 Alexander Bublik during which the star Kazakh proposed “to meet (Moutet) in the parking lot”.
“Do you want to fight?” The French child speaks and he does not want to fight. BUBLIK said the two players had shakes hands with the referee.
‘Let’s go. We meet in 10 minutes outside.

Last year, the Madrid Open also saw Moutet engage in a battle of words with the referee after she denied the opportunity to drink a coffee during her four -hour epic against Shang Jungcheng.
“No matter where we play, we do not provide coffee,” said the referee in an attempt to appease French. “I can’t bring it to you.
Moutet was rather furious at the other refreshments offered during the tournament, before adding sarcastically: “Am I asking for caviar?”
