World No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz faces a stylistic challenge from Corentin Moutet in the third round of the Australian Open on Friday. The Frenchman, known for his flair and underarm serves, vows to stick to his game plan against the top seed. Alcaraz anticipates a fun but focused encounter on Rod Laver Arena.
Corentin Moutet advanced to the second round of the 2026 Australian Open with a straight-sets victory over local favorite Tristan Schoolkate, but drew boos from the Melbourne crowd after using an underarm serve on match point. The 32nd-seeded Frenchman, ranked world No. 34, overcame a hamstring issue to secure the 6-4, 7-6(1), 6-3 win. Moutet apologized on court, expressing respect for his opponent and the fans.
