Junior career

[edit]

2013: First ITF tournaments, first titles

[edit]

In April, Moutet entered the singles qualifying of the ITF Junior Cap d'Ail.[8] Two tournaments later, he reached his first singles final at the Podgorica Open.[9] At the Copa Santa Catarina Internacional in October, Moutet again reached the singles final, losing to João Menezes in straight sets. In doubles, he took his first title with Fernando Yamacita.[10] At the Copa Guga Kuerten, his final tournament of the year, he proved victorious in both doubles, again partnering Yamacita, and singles, where he defeated Yamacita in the final.[11]

2014: Doubles success, junior Grand Slam debut

[edit]

Moutet continued to prove himself in doubles competition, taking two titles and finishing runner-up once. In April, at Beaulieu-sur-Mer, he and his partner Johan Sébastian Tatlot took out Maxime Janvier and Alexandre Müller in straight sets.[12] Moutet and Tatlot again partnered at Roehampton in June, reaching the final before losing in straight sets.[13] In October, he won his second title of the year at the Dunlop Srixon Japan Open Junior Championships, this time partnering Akira Santillan.[14]

While successful in doubles, singles success proved to be elusive. Moutet reached the quarterfinals of only four events and pushed further in just two, never making a final. In June, he made his junior Grand Slam debut when he lost to Lee Duck-hee of South Korea in the first round of the French Open. Later that month, he fell in the second round of Wimbledon qualifying to Hong Seong-chan.[15]

2015–2016: Shortened seasons

[edit]

Moutet began to shift his focus to ITF Men's Circuit events in 2015, resulting in a shortened season of only three tournaments. His best results came at the AGL Loy Yang Traralgon Junior International in January, where he reached the third round in singles and quarterfinals in doubles, with Orlando Luz.[16] Later that month, he made his Australian Open debut, losing in the first round in both singles and doubles. His final event of the year was the Trofeo Juan Carlos Ferrero in April, where he fell in the first round in singles and second round in doubles.[17]

2016 also proved to be a shortened Junior season for Moutet. He began his season in May at the French Open, moving through two rounds before losing to countryman and eventual champion Geoffrey Blancaneaux in three sets. Moutet found singles success again in July when he competed at the European Junior Championships. Though unseeded, he received a bye in the first round before moving swiftly through to the semifinals, where he met Marvin Möller of Germany. Möller pushed Moutet to three sets, but Moutet came out on top. In the final, he faced Stefanos Tsitsipas. Tsitsipas won the first set in a tiebreak, saving two set points, and lead 5–3, 30–0 in the second set when Moutet, upset with the chair umpire, quit the match.[18][19] Moutet then competed in the European Summer Cups, helping France win the title, before finishing his year at the US Open, where he lost in the third round.[20]

2017: Final junior year

[edit]

Moutet started his 2017 season at the AGL Loy Yang Traralgon Junior International in January. Seeded sixth, he moved quickly through the first four rounds, dropping only twelve games en route to the semifinals, where he again met Möller. Moutet moved into his first final of the season after defeating Möller in straight sets. In the final, he faced 16th seeded Zsombor Piros, taking out the Hungarian to win his first tournament of the season. Partnering with Ergi Kirkin, he also reached the doubles semifinals, losing to Italian pair Francesco Forti and Mattia Frinzi.[21] The Australian Open would also prove to be successful for Moutet. Seeded fifth in singles, he faced little trouble en route to the semifinals, where he again faced Piros. Unable to replicate his success in Traralgon, Piros, the eventual champion, came out on top, defeating Moutet.

Focusing on Pro Circuit events, Moutet did not return to junior competition until June, when he competed at the French Open. In the first round, he defeated Emil Ruusuvuori, whom he had previously defeated at the Australian Open, before falling to Alexey Zakharov of Russia in the second round.

July brought additional success for Moutet. After falling in the first round of the Nike Junior International Roehampton, he made a deep run at Wimbledon.[22] As the top seed, he pushed through to the semifinals, defeating 11th seeded Jurij Rodionov of Austria in the quarterfinals before falling to unseeded Argentinian Axel Geller. After a successful Wimbledon, he then entered the European Junior Championships, where he was again the seeded first. On his way to the final, he exacted revenge on Zakharov in the semifinals, defeating him without losing a game. In the final, Moutet met Piros for the third and last time in 2017, again falling to him in straight sets.[23]

Moutet's final junior level matches came at the European Summer Cups in August. Here he did not drop a set, winning three matches in singles and, with Matteo Martineau, three matches in doubles to help his home country lift the trophy.[24] After the victory, Moutet announced that he would no longer play junior events, instead focusing his efforts exclusively at the professional level.[25]

Moutet reached a career high of No. 7 in the ITF Combined Junior Rankings on 14 August 2017.

He then defeated Tristan Lamasine in the second round, 6–4, 6–7(6–8), 6–3. In the quarterfinal, Moutet faced Gleb Sakharov, winning the match in straight sets.

Playing style

[edit]

Moutet's playing style is a unique blend of adaptability and creativity, setting him apart on the ATP tour. One of the most notable aspects of his game is his backhand. Initially a two-handed player, Moutet was forced to adapt to a one-handed backhand after suffering a right wrist injury. Despite the challenges, he developed proficiency with the one-handed stroke, and now can effectively play both one-handed and two-handed backhands depending on the situation.[98]

In addition to his versatile backhand, Moutet is also known for his frequent use of the underarm serve, a rare tactic in professional tennis. After his wrist injury, he found that the underarm serve was more effective than his traditional serve, and contemplated using it as his primary serve. This unconventional approach, combined with his flair for drop shots and volleys, often catches opponents off guard and adds an element of unpredictability to his matches.[99]

Personal life

[edit]

Moutet began playing tennis at the age of three, when he started playing with his father.[8][100] As of 2013, his father owned a restaurant in Paris.[101]

He idolised Rafael Nadal growing up,[102] and has appeared in numerous video sessions for TopCourt, a popular tennis tutorial website.

In 2020, Moutet dropped his debut hip-hop album, Écorché, and he has released several new songs since then, including a track with fellow tennis player Denis Shapovalov.
