Corentin Moutet

Corentin Moutet is one of the genuine artists of the men’s tour, a left-hander whose imagination and touch set him apart in an era of raw power. Known simply as “Co,” the Frenchman is a creative force who lists the drop shot and the volley among his favourite weapons, and he wields them with a craft and variety that few can match, conjuring angles and changes of pace that routinely leave bigger hitters bewildered. Off the court he is an engaging, free-spirited character (a pianist and rapper who released his own EP), and that artistic streak carries directly into his tennis. On it, he is a fierce competitor and a born entertainer, a relentless fighter who relishes the big stage and turns every match into a contest of wits as much as ball-striking. Blessed with deft hands, sharp tactical instincts and an unshakeable will to compete, Moutet is a distinctive and dangerous opponent capable of unsettling anyone on his day.

Moutet is 27 and has established himself among the leading names in French tennis, a former top-10 junior whose flair always marked him out as a talent to follow. He reached his first ATP final as a 20-year-old in Doha in 2020, becoming the youngest French finalist on tour since Richard Gasquet, and went on to announce himself at the majors by beating former champion Stan Wawrinka en route to the fourth round of the 2022 US Open, where he became the first men’s lucky loser on record to reach that stage. He added a fourth-round run at Roland Garros in 2024 before producing the finest season of his career in 2025, racking up a personal-best 31 match wins, reaching finals in Mallorca and Almaty, and recording the first Top 10 wins of his career. That surge carried him to a career-high of world No 30 in April 2026. Still chasing a maiden tour-level title despite his multiple finals, Moutet has shown time and again that his shotmaking and competitive fire are good enough to trouble the very best in the game.
