Moutet Faints Before Australian Open Match

French tennis player Corentin Moutet fainted in the shower 45 minutes before his Australian Open third-round match against Learner Tien, leading to a straight-sets defeat. Despite feeling fit earlier, Moutet experienced a blackout and memory loss from the incident, which left him dazed during the match. He attempted to regain stability through balance exercises before the game but struggled with physical issues like cramps during the contest. Moutet praised Tien's performance, stating the American was better physically and did not attribute his loss solely to the pre-match incident. Following his defeat, Moutet expressed pride in his effort and resilience despite the unexpected health scare. Meanwhile, Tien continues his impressive run, having previously defeated Daniil Medvedev to reach the third round.
