French tennis player Corentin Moutet said he did not intend to do be disrespectful after he was booed by the Australian Open crowd for playing an underarm serve to win match point.
Moutet, the 32nd seed, defeated the Australian Tristan Schoolkate 6-4, 7-6 (1), 6-3 in his opening round match on Sunday and said he was “not thinking” about his unorthodox choice of shot on match point.
