The round of 16 match between Bulgarian Adrian Andreev and Frenchman Corentin Moutet was tight. Andreev won 2-6 7-6 7-6. As the players approached the net, things seemed normal. But things escalated quickly.

Andreev and Moutet shoved each other and nearly came to blows before the chair umpire rushed down from his chair to separate the two. You can check out the video here. 

In his post-match press conference, Moutet said that Andreev had abused him verbally with profanities multiple times. Moutet said:

I don’t want to apologize for what happened late in the game. When a player allows himself to say ‘f*** you’ twice while looking me in the eye, I can’t help but make him understand in my own way that these are not things that are done.

Moutet’s best grand slam performance came at the 2022 US Open where he reached the fourth round. He has reached one ATP final in his career but is yet to win an ATP title.

BetterHelp, a mental health-focused firm that matches customers to licensed therapists, has signed up Frances Tiafoe, Venus Williams, and Taylor Fritz as ambassadors.

Speaking about the partnership, Tiafoe said, 

This game requires so much more than just athletic performance. It’s about mental toughness and being able to show up for yourself to put in the work. That’s why I’m partnering with @betterhelp to spread the word about mental health resources. 

Fritz, who reached the quarterfinals at Wimbledon earlier this year, said

As athletes, we stay so focused on our physical health that our mental health often takes a backseat. I’m stoked to partner with BetterHelp to raise awareness and help people get free access to therapy.
