Fognini (117 ATP), 38, and Moutet (91 ATP), 26, had an extremely tense handshake, after the French victory at Stuttgart, things being very close to taking an ugly turn.
Mout has prevailed in three sets in front of the Italian veteran, with score 6-4, 6-7, 6-3 in Germany, in a match between two of the most tense characters in the circuit.
After the last point nothing announced the unpleasant moment from the end. After shaking their hand, Fognini and Moute whispered a few words, and the Italian was extremely irritated and began to insult his opponent. “Look at me! Look at me! Look at me, the pigs are! “shouted Fognini to Mout, who totally ignored, greeting the referee and then the audience.
The Italian continued to be dissatisfied and heard, again offending the French: “You’re a shit! ”, According to the Daily Mail.
Mout seems to continue to ignore the veteran, before leaving the ground, in the applause of the public.
Fabio Fognini, former no. 9th world, received a Wildcard for this tour. Following the qualification, Mout will take place for a place in quarters with Alexander Zverev, the main favorite of the Stuttgart tuna.
Fognini and Mout are two of the most cholera players in the ATP circuit, both being involved in many scandals over time, either with rivals or with party officials.
Earlier this year, Mout had a conflict with Alexander Bublik, and the two had to be kept away by the chair referee Marta Mrozinska.
For his part, Fognini had problems with Andy Murray in the past, who told him to “shut up” in the middle of the match in 2019.
