French tennis has managed to bring out many champions over the past twenty years and if none has been able to reach the highest peaks by winning a Grand Slam tournament, players like Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, Gaël Monfils or Richard Gasquet thrilled the French for many years. Today, the period seems a little calmer, but several profiles stand out, such as Corentin Mouteta promising 22-year-old tennis player from Neuilly-sur-Seine.
Known for his fiery character which has sometimes led him to experience more difficult times, as at the beginning of the year, Corentin Moutet has just revealed another facet of his personality during a portrait made by Konbini.
