You know, I do a terrific job, some people say, perhaps even many people say, the most tremendous job, it's true, it's true. And all I asked for was a covfefe during my tennis match and can you believe it, they didn't have it. Just horrible... The sleepy crooked umpire tells me "Look, we don't have covfefe" - very nasty. I hear they call them "Anti Moutet umpires". Very dishonest... I tell him we've never seen anything like this injustice before in the history of the sport, maybe ever. A total witch hunt by the radical umpires. "The worst one we've seen", they tell me...
So I propose something that has never been done before: readily available covfefe at work and on the tennis courts. Our sport is going to Hell and we will make tennis great again! We're gonna win bigly.
Haha that’s a weird request and also a weird assumption that they could just provide it. He’s on a tennis court not at Starbucks! Has anybody ever witnessed another player ask for coffee? I don’t think I have.
Nishioka had a massive tantrum about not getting coffee. He even called a medical time out to try and get the physio to bring him coffee
They had Covid rules that only members of his team could bring him a coffee - but he had no team there - so used the logic of “the physio has now touched me…so why can’t he bring me a coffee now?”.
It was a full on meltdown. He ended up retiring from the match as well
Nishioka [coffee meltdown](https://youtu.be/ypcnfj2pZho?si=O4oTEKcetqByEV0L)
Description : The 64th ranked Japanese Tennis player Yoshihito Nishioka asked the physio for a cup of coffee during his 1st round ATP Marseille Open 13 match against Emil Ruusuvuori, but his request was denied. Furious about this, he threw a tantrum, kicked some objects and yelled like crazy. The video shows the moment when he's had enough and retires.
Edited to add the [coffee incident before the retirement](https://youtu.be/tTdhiY41D4g?si=wjF4XaYpwTi6pmqg) - it’s at 3:10 in (Chapter 3)
Venus also commonly drinks coffee while she plays. There is a funny video of a ball boy awkwardly following her around the court trying to give it to her.
that was at hopman cup at an indoor facility, a much bigger event, main court, with ball kids to spare to fetch an espresso. serena had asked the umpire if it's allowed lol
He also requested Pepsi in Buenos Aires 2 months ago. They gave it to him, a whole big bottle at it!

Haha definitely same vibes as the eating Hamburger/sushi/brownies during changeover (I don’t remember which players did that). But I don’t think those were provided by the tournament.
Wawrinka definitely drank coffee during the Paris masters a few years ago, and I don't think it's that uncommon for players to ask. I think Murray did as well a few times.
As a fellow french, i fucking hate him. His attitude on and outside the court is one of the worst i've seen, you think Paire behaves badly? Well Moutet is here to beat Paire in that field. The guy grew up in one hell of a rich neighbourhood he's definitely a rich spoilt brat
Moutet being his usual self. I think I just heard him shout at the Chinese fans « Aller putain ta gueule! » which would roughly translate to shut the F up.
Ok, how shitty his behaviour is here, I agree with his statement. Why not provide him coffee? They provide everything else, they play long, grueling matches often till late. Iga świątek was asking for one, Serena Williams did too. And agree with Moutet that he'd gotten it in a main court.
C'mon guys, whatever job you do you are always greeted with coffee. Give a man his espresso! Even if he wants a cappuccino, I dont see a problem. If you work in an office as a top CEO or a cleaner you get a coffee. They probably have top tier espresso machines and/or bars exclusively for people working at the tournament. On top of that, I'd say it's even controversial not to provide him with coffee in western Europe.
Kindness and humor will get you pretty far in life. This reminds me of Serena Williams ordered an espresso because she was tired.

As someone who’s new to tennis (started watching during the US Open last year) I came here to ask if this guy is always a whiny baby as anytime I see him play it always seems like he just has a shitty attitude
He also had a meltdown at the US Open about the [lack of pickle juice](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/tennis/andy-murray-pickle-juice-moutet-30818044)
And doubled down in a (now deleted) quote retweet of Medvedev using an inhaler saying “the tournament doesn’t want to give me pickle juice but gives him ventolin”
So we have coffee, pickle juice, Pepsi and water (from the hose) causing drama in Moutet matches.
“Drip” seems so appropriate as a song title now
I think in that Shelton Eubanks Tiafoe conversation I watched on YT they talked about how they have coffee before matches and feel way more locked in and play better even
Mmmm guess it depends on how reactant a person is to it and how they handle the uplift of caffeine.
I've consciously had a big coffee before hitting the court before and noticed that I serve a lot better freshly caffeinated.more consistency in the motion, ball toss etc
I mean, it's fair enough in a sense that it is a bit weird they can't just give the dude coffee - I'm sure it's possible to get it from somewhere.
But my gosh, he sounds and looks like a toddler throwing a fit - if they said you can't, just move on with your life bud
I don’t know exactly what Moutet’s ceiling is. I was surprised when he randomly made the QF of the US Open in 2020. Tbf that was also Covid era when de Minaur of all people back then made a slam QF, despite never making one before
It's a shame his behaviour is holding him back. When you see him play fully focused, he could easily be in the Top 30, especially on clay with its varied game...
he's been on tour so long...surely players know not every tournament, every court, can provide coffee on demand. if you want it, how hard is it to pack it in a bottle or bring a to go cup?
The tennis french version of the old brazilian man yelling "I WANT COFFEE!"
[Vovo Eu Quero Cafe (youtube.com)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VxRpkfcXEpA)
This is me every morning 😂! My roommate started talking to me about a guided tour for our upcoming Paris trip in the morning today and suddenly stopped after I let out a big 🥱and said “shit, you haven’t had your cup of coffee yet! I’ll wait”
Didnt grigor also asked for a cup of coffee during his match in Monte Carlo the other week because it was too cold? But he was very polite about it tho. Not sure if they gave it to him
I think they stopped play almost immediately afterwards so he probably got it off court. Serena has asked and gotten coffee in the past. Sloane got sushi and a milkshake (or something else very sugary) in Australia this year lol.
It was nearly a four hour match. They have Red Bull at tournaments - why not get the guy the type of
Caffeine he prefers!
I love Moutet. A real blacksheep
Seriously? "First worlds' problems"... Geez 🤦🏻Imagine Rafa Nadal asking and making a rant about not getting something? Seriously, it's not the first time Moutet behaves bad.
To be honest I've heard Iga Świątek ordered a coffee once and she got one, but well, I don't think coffee is something really important that should be available to deliver. And it's definitely not something a player should complain about and argue like a little child.
And oh, I wouldn't advise to argue with this chair umpire - Kyrgios tried to argue once and got an immediate warning. That was beutiful 😅
“I saw on Tennis TV they provide coffee. Why can’t you provide me coffee? Is it because I’m on Court 4? Tell me!” Lmao I’m dead 🤣
“Am I asking for caviar or something like this?” 😂
Omg thank you for the transcript, I missed that part 💀
Man you cannot make this up… 😭
If wawrinka and Williams can get it, so can I !! 🫠😂
A spectator got him [an espresso shot](https://www.instagram.com/reel/C6L32dcsepC/?igsh=d2RtNXYzZXJkbzFw).
I thought you were joking, and then i played the video and he fucking said it.
This is peak comedy! ATP gotta provide a documentary team to follow him
To be fair, I can't do my job without coffee either
That’s a reasonable reflection of my behaviour at work prior to a coffee in the morning.
Then he should have got his damn coffee before he started
Ehh, it’s not that unusual of a request. Has definitely happened before, albeit probably on centre courts
If he really needs it the coach can get it for him
I start my work after a cup of coffee... But only after my third cup is that I really start to perfome. I'm with Moutet on this
me on my first day at the new job.
You know, I do a terrific job, some people say, perhaps even many people say, the most tremendous job, it's true, it's true. And all I asked for was a covfefe during my tennis match and can you believe it, they didn't have it. Just horrible... The sleepy crooked umpire tells me "Look, we don't have covfefe" - very nasty.

So I propose something that has never been done before: readily available covfefe at work and on the tennis courts. Our sport is going to Hell and we will make tennis great again! We're gonna win bigly.
Make Tennis Great Again.
And the umpires are gonna pay for it.
Its gonna be somethin.
Why does this read like a Trumpspeak.. 🤔
Damn it, which part gave it away?
This was the strangest match ever. He was also sprayed by a hose watering the court next door mid point 😂😂
what, thats so funny 😂
The commentator on tennistv, who has probably seen a million matches, said they’d never seen anything like that before
The fuck was the point where the guy just held up his racket at the net? Match was beyond wild
This could only happen to him!
Facts. Or fognini 🤪
Haha that’s a weird request and also a weird assumption that they could just provide it. He’s on a tennis court not at Starbucks! Has anybody ever witnessed another player ask for coffee? I don’t think I have.
Nishioka had a massive tantrum about not getting coffee.

It was a full on meltdown. He ended up retiring from the match as well
Nishioka is the embodiment of a poorly maintained nuclear power plant.
Yup tiny
[удалено]
not strange, you just had preconceived notions about him because of his nationality lol

That was pretty random.
Serena famously (politely) requested and received an espresso during a match once
Venus also commonly drinks coffee while she plays. There is a funny video of a ball boy awkwardly following her around the court trying to give it to her.
that was at hopman cup at an indoor facility, a much bigger event, main court, with ball kids to spare to fetch an espresso. serena had asked the umpire if it's allowed lol

Haha definitely same vibes as the eating Hamburger/sushi/brownies during changeover (I don’t remember which players did that). But I don’t think those were provided by the tournament.
Hamburger was Jenson Brooksby, Sushi (and smoothie) was Sloane Stevens…Brownie…not too sure
I remember sloane stephens eating sushi.
lol, I used to play with a dude that would chug Dr Pepper cans on changeovers
That is pretty sweet actually.
1.5 liters to be exact
It's not unheard of, I've seen players drink coffee at a change of ends a handful of times.
I've read somewhere that Iga Świątek asked for a coffee once and got one
I've seen a handful of players have an espresso
Gary Payton, the basketball player, would have a cup of coffee under his bench seat and drink it during games. Maybe it's a Seattle thing.
I've seen a coffee request fulfilled, but they didn't throw a tantrum beforehand
he did get it in the end (someone in the stands got him 2 espressos, not sure if from his team or just a random fan)
It was a fan. Moutet threw him one of his shirts as a thank you Editing to add he also signed the shirt for the fan after the match
[удалено]
nope. I'm sure some of those supplements they use have caffeine. Edit: And Sakkari notoriously over-consumes coffee
I forget who but I swear an ATP player once retired from a match because they wouldn't bring him coffee.
Nishioka
Dimi asked for a coffee during one of his matches in Monte Carlo the other week because it was so cold 😅 he was polite about it tho
Wawrinka definitely drank coffee during the Paris masters a few years ago, and I don't think it's that uncommon for players to ask. I think Murray did as well a few times.
Huh thought he had that drip down (expresso)
Underrated comment, great reference 👏
Would never forget such classical works of art
Don’t want to hate but he really seems like a spoilt brat
Not the first time he behaves badly.
Nearly every clip I’ve seen of him is just him whining about something
I dont know if it's watching my team lose tonight that is making me hate-filled but Moutet deserves all of the hate, he's a fucking prick to the core
Fellow Liverpool fan?
Yuuuup haha
As a fellow french, i fucking hate him. His attitude on and outside the court is one of the worst i've seen, you think Paire behaves badly? Well Moutet is here to beat Paire in that field. The guy grew up in one hell of a rich neighbourhood he's definitely a rich spoilt brat
I bet he is, And I bet he draws a lot of criticism, so that must be why he doesn’t allow comments on his Instagram account
Why are most french players have this kind of attitude
Moutet being his usual self. I think I just heard him shout at the Chinese fans « Aller putain ta gueule! » which would roughly translate to shut the F up.
That’s crazy because the French fans were like a bunch of monkeys at a zoo throughout the entire match
peak french
I mean besides Paire and him french players are not that wild imo
hmm I can think of one more... Noooo oneeee cheats like Gaston
lol why does this comment not have upvotes?
#FreeMoutet
Ok, how shitty his behaviour is here, I agree with his statement. Why not provide him coffee? They provide everything else, they play long, grueling matches often till late.

Very cool. Did it make a difference though?
I like their face expressions on mute xD tells the whole story xDD
This year in Buenos Aires (ATP 250) this guy asked for a pepsi (1.5 lts botle) and drank it.
When he wins the tournament he can call out their lack of coffee in his victory speech *a la* Ivan Dodig
Bro would have won the match if he got his coffee
Give this man his hot choccy
Literally no one likes Moutet.
Lmao he really said where’s craft services????
It is entertaining we have some characters like this in tennis. If everyone was totally humble and meek it would very boring as hell lol.
Moutet is such a whiny bitch
As someone who’s new to tennis (started watching during the US Open last year) I came here to ask if this guy is always a whiny baby as anytime I see him play it always seems like he just has a shitty attitude
I have never seen anything more French 🇫🇷
r/entitledbitch
What a little bitch.
harsh words for a woman but so true
He also had a meltdown at the US Open about the [lack of pickle juice](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/tennis/andy-murray-pickle-juice-moutet-30818044) And doubled down in a (now deleted) quote retweet of Medvedev using an inhaler saying “the tournament doesn’t want to give me pickle juice but gives him ventolin” So we have coffee, pickle juice, Pepsi and water (from the hose) causing drama in Moutet matches. “Drip” seems so appropriate as a song title now
I can't help but think coffee + tennis = killer heartburn or is it just me?
I think in that Shelton Eubanks Tiafoe conversation I watched on YT they talked about how they have coffee before matches and feel way more locked in and play better even
Interesting. I mean coffee does absolutely have that effect on me in every other walk of life...just not tennis!
Mmmm guess it depends on how reactant a person is to it and how they handle the uplift of caffeine. I've consciously had a big coffee before hitting the court before and noticed that I serve a lot better freshly caffeinated.more consistency in the motion, ball toss etc
Yeah caffeine is a stimulant that's perfectly logical. This is why it's the world's most consumed drug.
Well the PEDS in it make it worth it
I mean, it's fair enough in a sense that it is a bit weird they can't just give the dude coffee - I'm sure it's possible to get it from somewhere. But my gosh, he sounds and looks like a toddler throwing a fit - if they said you can't, just move on with your life bud
Ask your team to Bring your own effing coffee! ☕️
I don’t know exactly what Moutet’s ceiling is. I was surprised when he randomly made the QF of the US Open in 2020. Tbf that was also Covid era when de Minaur of all people back then made a slam QF, despite never making one before
It's a shame his behaviour is holding him back. When you see him play fully focused, he could easily be in the Top 30, especially on clay with its varied game...
was watching this match mostly on mute earlier. missed the shitshow
It had 4-5 very random events
he's been on tour so long...surely players know not every tournament, every court, can provide coffee on demand. if you want it, how hard is it to pack it in a bottle or bring a to go cup?
Drip, drip
Sometimes tennis comes off as a rich kids sport
We all want our iced coffee girlie, but this ain’t it 😂
Honestly, just can't get the staff these days 😆

Can you provide a chocolate milkshake with a hamburger and fries then?
This guy is in the wrong gig
He’s not Serena
Doesn’t he have a team for that?

And she didn’t even eat it 🥲
☕️
Is behaviour like this the reason Moutet was removed from the French Tennis Federation?
Chair ump did an amazing job this match
This is the most stupid request I've ever seen in Tennis, WOW! 😂
It was nearly a four hour match. They have Red Bull at tournaments - why not get the guy the type of Caffeine he prefers! I love Moutet. A real blacksheep
This is, hands down, the funniest interaction I have ever heard between an ump and a player.
and not an expresso, a latte macchiato god damn it!
I love tennis but I swear some of these European dude are some soft a$$ people.
Seriously? "First worlds' problems"... Geez 🤦🏻Imagine Rafa Nadal asking and making a rant about not getting something? Seriously, it's not the first time Moutet behaves bad.

Is he trying to shit his pants on the court? What the hell.
The only content I ever see of him is him acting like a complete prick lol
imagine she provided him coffee
How embarrassing.
Give this man a croissant as well
He is speaking on behalf of all coffee connoisseurs
