Corentin Moutet’s campaign at the Madrid Open came to an abrupt end as he withdrew from his match against fellow Frenchman Harold Mayot due to a lower back injury when he was 3-6 2-4 down. The decision was met with disappointment from the crowd, who had witnessed a tense and emotional encounter before his retirement.
Moutet’s frustration was evident as he left the court, expressing his dissatisfaction over not having received his MRI results in time. The uncertainty surrounding his condition added to his disappointment, as he had hoped to compete at full strength in the tournament.
This was his post on X:
I went to do an MRI directly after my match I’m still waiting for the result
I wanted to try today but I didn’t know that it would be that bad
My back didn’t allow me to do muchI hope to be back soon on the court
All the best to my opponent for the rest of the tournament
