It wasn’t a comfortable day at work for Moutet as he fought both the crowd and Jarry during the quarterfinal clash. He was subjected to constant jeering from the stands at the center court of Santiago’s Club Deportivo Universidad Catolica in Santiago as soon as he started the match with an underarm serve.

Moreover, Jarry offered stern resistance throughout the match as the two remained locked in for two hours and 12 minutes. The two-setter witnessed two tiebreakers as Moutet and Jarry exchanged two breaks each.The Frenchman, however, fared relatively better in winning points on his first serve as he maintained a conversion rate of 73% against Jarry’s 63%. The World No. 140 eventually clinched a 7-6(5), 7-6(3) win.Moutet, however, received no pats on the back as the crowd continued jeering even during his on-court interview. He, once, tried to calm the spectators down by taking the mic from the host but to no avail.
