class=\"ciam-article-t365\">\n<p>Corentin Moutet has hit back at Danielle Collins after the WTA player-turned-TV commentator claimed he \u201cflirted with me\u201d and \u201cslid into her DMs\u201d at the recent Miami Open.<\/p>\n<p>During a Tennis Channel segment called \u201cStorytime With Danielle\u201d, host Steve Weissman claimed that Moutet was \u201ccat-calling\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/danielle-collins\">Collins<\/a> during practice and asked her to give him a \u201ccome on\u201d while she was live on air.<\/p>\n<p>The former world No 7, who\u00a0 hasn\u2019t played competitive tennis since losing in the first round of the US Open last August, went on to explain: \u201cAnd I basically said to him, \u2018If you\u2019re gonna be flirting with me like that you\u2019re gonna have to get a bigger serve\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After a few seconds of awkward silence, the American added: \u201cSome people think it comes down to height, some people think it comes down to personality, but really what it comes down to is big forehands and big serves.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Collins then revealed: \u201cIt was kind of awkward because he unfollowed me after my viral dating profile when I said I wasn\u2019t interested in the short kings.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCome on people, you have to understand that I am 5ft 10in (178cm) and for me, right, it\u2019s fair. It\u2019s just like a preference, nothing against the short kings, but he was upset about that and he messaged me and then unfollowed me.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow he slid back into the DMs last night asking me if I saw his match and all the big serves that he was hitting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>World No 33 Moutet, who for the record is 5ft 11in (180cm), was obviously unimpressed by the \u201cstory\u201d as he replied to a post with the video and commented with a few laughing emojis: \u201cHow can I unfollow you when I never followed you. @TennisChannel how can you let someone say BS like this on tv.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou followed me. You asked me for mixed dubs. And I\u2019ve never even followed you.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou ready to say anything so people talk about you. You should learn how to love yourself so you won\u2019t have to do stupid things for people loves [people\u2019s love].<\/p>\n<p>\u201c@TennisChannel good sport journalist (handshake emoji).\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Collins, who finished runner-up to Asleigh Barty in the 2022 Australian Open final, is yet to respond, but she made headlines last year over her demanding dating profile.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCurrently a professional tennis player, but kind of aspiring to be a trad wife. Straight up,\u201d the bio states.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlready had my boss babe era. Just wanting to raise my chickens, do home projects, make freshly baked sourdough, be a stay-at-home dog mom, and hopefully pop out some babies soon.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you\u2019re going to lie about your height just leave me the f\u2013k alone. This is a no short kings zone.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ATP star hits back at WTA star over flirting claims \u2013 \u2018How can you let someone say BS like this on TV\u2019 Shahida Jacobs 23 Mar 2026 7:30 AM Corentin Moutet with Danielle Collins inset Corentin Moutet has hit back at Danielle Collins after the WTA player-turned-TV commentator claimed he \u201cflirted with me\u201d and \u201cslid [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[226,249],"class_list":["post-1841509","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-crawlmanager","tag-tennis365-com"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1841509","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1841509"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1841509\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1841509"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1841509"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1841509"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
