French tennis star Corentin Moutet sparked a heated argument with an umpire on Wednesday after not being offered a coffee during his four-hour epic with Shang Juncheng at the Madrid Open.<br/><br/>Moutet, who was beaten 7-6 2-6 6-7 by the Chinese athlete after a grueling three hours and 59 minutes in the Spanish capital, raged after the female umpire insisted she 'could not bring' coffee to the court for him to drink.<br/><br/>He initially confronted the umpire during the break after noticing there was no coffee available for him and took part in an explosive exchange with the official.<br/><br/>'It doesn't matter where we play, we don't provide coffee. I cannot bring it to you,' the umpire said. <br/><br/>Furious, Moutet went off on a lengthy rant about all the other refreshments on offer at the Madrid Open and finished by sarcastically saying: 'Am I asking for caviar?' <br/><br/>The Frenchman was eventually offered a coffee, but not by the officials. A spectator handed Moutet a cup over the railings, generating an amused applause from members of the Madrid crowd. <br/><br/>Moments later, the umpire could be heard calling for security to remove the fan.<br/><br/>At 5-5 in the decisive tiebreak, Moutet incredibly lost control of his racket after serving and ended up losing the point, left with nothing but his feet to swipe at Shang's return.<br/><br/>Moutet, who has fast become one of the most controversial players on the men's circuit, previously demanded for a 1-liter bottle of Pepsi during an Argentina Open qualifier in February.<br/><br/>On this occasion, the 25-year-old star was granted his request and later refused to be treated by the tournament physiotherapist after the match.<br/><br/>In January 2022, Moutet was disqualified from Adelaide International for insulting and swearing at a chair umpire.<br/><br/>And two years prior at an exhibition organised by French tennis coach Patrick Mouratoglou, the athlete lost his temper and kicked a racket into the stands before punching the wall at the back of the court.<br/><br/>During the same competition, Moutet labeled Stefanos Tsitsipas' father Apostolos 'stupid' for talking while he was trying to serve.<br/><br/>'You're not allowed to talk. I don't have any problem with Stefanos, who is a good guy, but his father is stupid and everyone knows it,' Moutet said, back in 2020.
