Jack Draper’s opponent booed at Italian Open after breaking ‘unwritten rule’ twice
Jack Draper’s last-16 opponent at the Italian Open, Corentin Moutet, was roundly booed in the Rome venue after breaking what has been described as an ‘unwritten rule’. The pair were into a tense deciding set, after Moutet thrashed Draper 6-1, before the Brit came back to claim the second set 6-4.
Moutet played the fourth-longest match in Italian Open history on Sunday against Holger Rune and tiredness appeared to be creeping into his game, as he sent an underwarm serve towards Draper. The Frenchman’s attempt hit the net and he was booed by spectators at Super Tennis Arena.
