Corentin Moutet (26) Claps Back at Danielle Collins (32) & Sparks Social Media Drama
The Miami Open has become a hot topic for more than just tennis, as Corentin Moutet and Danielle Collins have found themselves in the middle of a social media dispute.
The tension started after Collins claimed on the Tennis Channel that Moutet had been flirting with her during the tournament and even cat-called her before a match. She joked that she shut him down by saying he would need a better serve if he wanted to get her attention.
Collins also brought up a moment from last year when she had joked about a “no short kings zone” on her dating profile. She said Moutet was upset by the comment, messaged her, unfollowed her on social media, and later slid back into her DMs asking if she had noticed his big serves during his recent match. “I don’t think he has a chance … yet,” Collins told viewers, adding fuel to the gossip.
Moutet quickly responded, taking to X to deny Collins’ claims. He wrote that the story was “a bunch of crap” and insisted that he never followed her in the first place.
He even claimed that Collins was the one who followed him and invited him to play mixed doubles. In a pointed post, he added, “You ready to say anything so people talks about you,” suggesting that Collins was seeking attention. He ended the post by tagging the Tennis Channel and criticizing their reporting.

So far, Collins has not responded to Moutet’s comments, focusing on recovering from a back injury while the tournament continues. Meanwhile, Moutet has kept his attention on the court, winning his match against Tomas Machac despite the ongoing drama. His next big challenge is facing world number one Jannik Sinner, and fans are watching closely to see if he can maintain his focus amid the controversy.
This situation shows how off-court stories can quickly become part of the conversation at major tennis events. It’s a reminder that social media and personal conflicts often overshadow the matches themselves.
It seems like both players are dealing with the tension differently, and it’s hard to know the full story from afar. I’m curious what fans think about this situation. Do you side with Moutet or Collins, or think it’s just overblown? Share your thoughts in the comments.
