Tennis: Corentin Moutet’s repeated swearing forces BBC to cut Queen’s interview short

“Apologies, everyone, for the language there,” Drummond said.

“I’m going to ask you one more question, so please keep it clean, okay?

“You on the grass last week, unfortunately, it didn’t go your way. What’s it like to get your first victory?”

Moutet decided not to keep his response clean.

“F***, f***, f***,” he said again, with Drummond then cutting the interview short.

BBC presenter Clare Balding apologised again for the language Moutet used.

“Corentin Moutet living up to his bad-boy image,” Balding said.

“Chaos makes the muse is what he wrote on the camera screen there.

“It’s a tattoo that he has as well and, yep, chaos is what he can create.”

The championships later posted a video of the interview on social media, with Moutet responding in the comments.

“I was just joking I hope you guys didn’t get offended,” he said.

“Thanks for the love.”

Moutet has been embroiled in controversy at Queen’s before as he appeared to call an umpire a “f***ing t***” during an on-court argument last year.

In 2022, he swore at an umpire during the Adelaide International, causing him to be defaulted.

The French Tennis Federation dropped him in November of the same year because of his behaviour, causing Moutet to lose financial aid.

Moutet was also seen asking if Kazakh Alexander Bublik wanted to fight during an argument the pair were having in March last year.
