UTS1 Preview: Dustin Brown “The Artist” vs Corentin Moutet “The Tornado”
Every artist loves a blank canvas but Dustin Brown had better watch his back today because The Tornado has a creative streak of his own.
Last weekend UTS fans learned quickly that France’s Corentin Moutet is a player on the rise. The freestyling Tornado could have easily been nicknamed the wizard based on his improvisational tennis and the way he blankets the court. A double tweener followed by an obscene drop shot? Moutet did that and more as he split his first two UTS matches, and he played relentless defence as well.
Will it be enough to keep Brown down? As the only player still seeking his first UTS win, The Artist is desperate to make a splash. He’s motivated to prove he belongs with this elite UTS field, but to do that he will need to produce jaw-dropping tennis and take the “free” out of Moutet’s style.
