The controversy performed during a game in the first round at the ATP Challenger in Aix-en-Provence, which was suspended 5: 5 in the third set. The following day Moutet completed the victory 7-5, which was supported by a supportive French quantity.

There was no handshake on the net, but the situation did not escalate.

Kotov grabbed his bag quietly while Moutet celebrated with the crowd before leaving the Court without recognizing his opponent.
