Corentin Moutet’s journey at the Australian Open ended in the third round.
Against a solid Learner Tien who won in three sets, the Frenchman was close to winning the first set but gave in in the tie-break.
Behind, Medvedev’s fall from the previous round unfolded.
However, after the match, the 25-year-old felt unwell in the shower, as he himself confirmed in a press conference after his defeat.
“I actually felt faint 45 minutes before the match in the shower. I don’t know what happened. I was in the shower, I woke up on the floor.
Everything was black, I couldn’t see. It’s unexpected because I felt good all day, not too much aches, I was in pretty good shape, I had recovered well from my previous matches.
It was a little disturbing. I didn’t have much bearings, I was a little stunned from the fall. I didn’t hurt myself, but I was dazed.
During the warm-up, there was a bit of panic wondering how I was going to do it. It was hot today, it was physically hard.
-Honestly, I’m proud of myself. I didn’t start the match in the best conditions. I did the best I could to disturb him. It didn’t do it, but you have to know how to lose too.
I took a shower 1.5 hours before the match and finished the shower 45 minutes before. I have a black hole, I don’t know exactly what happened.
I just know I spent 15 minutes in the dark. I felt fine before, nothing, no alerts. And I didn’t have time to consult because I had my match, I had to warm up.
Very quickly, we tried to do balance exercises to regain my visual bearings because I was a little disoriented.
Afterwards, you only ever lose for one reason. He was better in every area. I tried to physically hold him.
It surprises me to have cramped in the third set because I felt fresh this morning, I didn’t have any aches,” he explained according to comments collected by the Team.
