French tennis player Corentin Moutet is known for his wide range of shot-making ability when on the court, as well as for his fiery personality. Moutet showed off some impressive shot-making during his first-round match against Francisco Comesana at Wimbledon on Tuesday.

Moutet beat Comesana in straight sets 6-4, 6-4, 6-2 on Court 11 at the All England Club. Moutet was serving up 3-2 in the third set and toyed with Comesana a bit. First, Moutet drew Comesana in to the net with a drop shot. He followed with a lob that sent Comesana back to the baseline. Comesana sent a lob back to Moutet, who faked like he was going to hit an overhead. Instead, Moutet went with a tweener drop shot for a winner.

The shot was so impressive that even Comesana came to the net to congratulate Moutet.

Though Moutet advanced to the second round, he didn’t quite have enough tricks in his bag to defeat Grigor Dimitrov, who won their match in four sets.

Moutet is currently ranked No. 69 in the world. He’s advanced to at least the third round in every major except Wimbledone, where he hasn’t made it past the second round.
