French tennis player Corentin Moutet used profanity seven times during a live television interview following his first-round win at the HSBC Championships on June 16. The interview took place at Queen’s Club in London after Moutet defeated fellow Frenchman Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard in a match that resumed from Monday evening.

Moutet, 27, responded to a question about a 142 mph serve by saying the F-word, then repeated it multiple times after the interviewer asked him to avoid profanity.
Drummond told Moutet “no F-bombs please” and later said she would ask one more question if he kept his language clean. Moutet replied with additional profanity and grinned during the exchange. Drummond apologized to viewers several times. After the interview ended, BBC host Clare Balding repeated the apologies on air for viewers on BBC Two and iPlayer.
British number one Annabel Croft described Moutet’s behavior as appalling. Moutet had written “Chaos makes the muses” on camera, a phrase that also appears in one of his tattoos.
