Corentin Moutet didn't let this one slide. The French tennis player pushed back hard after Danielle Collins made comments on Tennis Channel suggesting he had flirted with her before a match.

Collins, working as an analyst during Miami Open coverage, said Moutet was "flirting" and joked he'd need a "bigger serve" to have a chance with her. Another voice on the broadcast described it as "cat-calling."

Moutet says none of that is true.
"How can I unfollow you when I never followed you," he wrote on X, responding to a clip of Collins' remarks. "@TennisChannel how can you let someone say BS like this on tv?"
He didn't stop there.
"You followed me. You asked me for mixed dubs. And I've never even followed you," Moutet added. "You ready to say anything so people talks about you."
Collins also claimed Moutet unfollowed her after she posted a viral dating profile line that read, "This is a no short kings zone," and said he later messaged her again.
Moutet flatly denied it.
The exchange quickly turned into one of those off-court moments that grabs attention during a major tournament.
Collins has never shied away from the spotlight. She drew headlines at the 2025 Australian Open for embracing a villain role with the crowd. Now she's behind the mic, but the tone hasn't changed much.
Moutet, meanwhile, made it clear he wasn't interested in being part of the story (at least not this version of it).
