Moutet said after the match:

It’s unfortunate because there was not a pleasant atmosphere. I liked playing in Chile, in the qualifying, and all my matches, they supported me because I opened my heart, I gave a lot to the people and shared with them. Sport is made for that. My coach and my family are here, I know what I did right or wrong and today I did everything right.

Moutet, suffered boos and jeers from the beginning of the match as the fans were in favor of the countryman. However, after a good win, the proud Moutet was called pathetic by the defeated Jarry.

Speaking about the same, he said:

He said ‘pathetic’, I don’t know why. I behaved well. There were so many people against me, booing, and making noise when I was serving. So I think I didn’t do anything ‘pathetic’. I think I survived well, I played good. You should ask him why he said that. We are not exactly best friends on tour, actually, I don’t know him well.
Corentin Moutet explained

When Jarry was asked about the matter, he declined to make any comment. It is worth noting that Moutet struggled to speak during his on-court interview, as the fans kept whistling and booing.
