Best Grand Slam Matches Of 2020

5) Lorenzo Giustino d. Corentin Moutet, Roland Garros, R1, 28 September 2020

Lorenzo Giustino, a 29-year-old from Naples, Italy, has just one tour-level win in his career. But oh what a win it was. Coming into his first-round match against the 21-year-old Frenchman, Corentin Moutet, then ranked No. 71, he had entered the qualies of 16 majors and had lost in the qualifying rounds 16 times. But his luck seemed to be changing. In his previous major, the Australian Open, he made the main draw as a lucky loser, though he lost in the first round.

Still, there was no reason to believe he would beat Moutet, a promising young French talent in Paris, particularly after Moutet bageled him in the first set. But Giustino battled back, winning the second and third sets in tie-breaks, before losing the fourth 6-2. By the start of the fifth set, the match had already been going on for three hours and five minutes, but little did either man know they still had a three-hour fifth set to play (Roland Garros is the only major where players must win by two in the fifth set).

Moutet, nicknamed ‘Colonel Moutet’ by Brad Gilbert, served for the match three times in the fifth, but was broken each time. Not that service breaks were a rarity in the match, mind you. Moutet was broken nine times, Giustino thirteen. Moutet also outscored his opponent by 242 points to 217, and blasted 31 more winners. But none of that mattered, as Giustino came up with gutsy, ingenious clay court tennis to prevail 0-6, 7-6(7), 7-6(3), 2-6, 18-16 in what was, at six hours and five minutes, the second-longest match in Roland Garros history, next to the six-hour, 33-minute contest between Fabrice Santoro and Arnaud Clement in 2004.

Moutet Masters Tiafoe Test At Murray River Open

Spoiler:

Frenchman struck 32 winners against Tiafoe
#NextGenATP Frenchman Corentin Moutet made a statement start to the year after coming back from a set down against Frances Tiafoe to win 3-6, 6-4, 6-4 on Monday at the Murray River Open.

The 21-year-old came into the match looking to once again make waves in his season-opening event. Last year, Moutet posted his career-best result as he stormed into the final at the Qatar ExxonMobil Open as a qualifier, finishing runner-up to Andrey Rublev.

Moutet had to overcome a sluggish start in Melbourne as he found his rhythm against 2019 Australian Open quarter-finalist Tiafoe, No. 62 in the FedEx ATP Rankings. But once he settled into the match the lefty unleashed his speed around the court, forcing Tiafoe to hit an extra ball after what would normally be a clean winner.

The Frenchman outlasted Tiafoe in the third set to fight off break points and take a 3-1 lead, but he had trouble keeping him contained as Tiafoe made a late effort to get back on serve at 4-4. But Moutet held off Tiafoe and sealed his spot in the second round of the Murray River Open after two hours and seven minutes.

"It was so nice to play a match,” Moutet said afterwards. “It was a long time since I’ve played a match, especially in front of people. It wasn’t an easy one, because I had to play against a tough opponent who is a great player. A tough match, but definitely a lot of pleasure.”

Moutet will await the winner between No. 12 seed Albert Ramos-Vinolas and Australian wild card Blake Mott.

Mackenzie McDonald, No. 194 in the FedEx ATP Rankings, also advanced after edging past No. 14-seeded Frenchman Richard Gasquet in straight sets. McDonald served up eight aces against the former World No. 7 en route to a 7-6(2), 7-5 victory.

The American will play Alex Bolt, as the former No. 57 continues to work his way back to fitness after suffering a hamstring injury in 2019.

“I’ve been working hard, [had] a lot of preparation,” McDonald said. “I’m really excited to be playing matches again. I haven’t had many opportunities to come back after my injury, so I just want to keep playing good tennis and get back to where I belong.”

No. 15 seed Tommy Paul also advanced to the second round with a victory over Cameron Norrie, needing two hours and 21 minutes to come back from a set down against the Brit, 4-6, 7-6(2), 6-3.

Auger-Aliassime, Moutet Close In On Murray River Open Final

Spoiler:

Moutet beats second seed Dimitrov on busy day

Third seed Felix Auger-Aliassime will attempt to reach his seventh ATP Tour final on Saturday when he plays Corentin Moutet of France at the Murray River Open.

Auger-Aliassime, who saved one match point against Egor Gerasimov of Belarus in a 3-6, 6-3, 7-6(6) victory over two hours and 12 minutes earlier on Friday, earned his place in the last four when Czech Jiri Vesely retired due to a left shoulder injury. Auger-Aliassime had won the first set 7-6(3) in their quarter-final.

The 20-year-old Auger-Aliassime compiled a 23-19 match record in 2020, which includes three runner-up finishes at the ABN AMRO World Tennis Tournament in Rotterdam (l. to Monfils), the Open 13 Provence in Marseille (l. to Tsitsipas) and the bett1HULKS Indoors in Cologne (l. to Zverev).

How To Watch

Moutet recorded his second straight win over second-seeded Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov 7-5, 6-2 to reach his first ATP Tour semi-final in 13 months. The 21-year-old Frenchman advanced to the Qatar ExxonMobil Open final (l. to Rublev) in January 2020.

Auger-Aliassime leads Moutet 2-0 in their FedEx ATP Head2Head series, including victories at 2019 Wimbledon and the 2020 US Open.

Earlier on Friday, Moutet had advanced to the last eight with a 7-6(4), 6-4 third-round victory against Australia’s James Duckworth. Dimitrov knocked out Alexei Popyrin 6-4, 6-7(5), 6-3 in two hours and 23 minutes.

Koolhof/Kubot Through To Doubles Quarter-finals
Second seeds Wesley Koolhof and Lukasz Kubot overcame Radu Albot and Gerasimov 6-2, 3-6, 10-7 for a place in the quarter-finals. Koolhof partnered Nikola Mektic to the Nitto ATP Finals title (d. Melzer/Roger-Vasselin) in November 2020.

Koolhof and Kubot will next challenge fifth seeds Jeremy Chardy and Fabrice Martin, who saved one set point at 5-6, 30/40 in the first set of their 7-6(5), 6-4 victory over Divij Sharan and Igor Zelenay.

Elsewhere, Britons Cameron Norrie and Jonny O'Mara beat third seeds and last year’s Australian Open titlists Rajeev Ram and Joe Salisbury 4-6, 6-3, 10-7. They now prepare to play Marcelo Demoliner and Santiago Gonzalez.

Fourth seeds Marcelo Melo and Horia Tecau saved one set point at 5/6 in the first set tie-break of their 7-6(6), 6-2 win over Americans Nicholas Monroe and Frances Tiafoe.
