Since at the end of season 2022, Moutet was already on vacation, he started practicing with Popovic from the beginning of 2023.

“He is left-handed, has an extraordinary forehand and has an incredible feel for drop shots. He can improve the most on the backhand, and we worked on that a lot. He has hot blood, but, well, he’s still young, he can improve there too – if he succeeds in that, then I’m definitely sure he can get into the top 20.” Petar said about his trainee, before the start of this year Australian Open.

Without you, I certainly wouldn’t be here today. You have all my respect, good luck for the future.” Moutet wrote on his Twitter account, in a thank you message for his coach.
