French tennis player Corentin Moutet is fined after using the “F word” seven times during a live post-match interview on BBC Two at the Queen’s Club Championships. Multiple outlets report that the swearing happened immediately after his first-round win at the tournament, with the interview conducted on court following the match. BBC presenter Martin or the host appears to have asked him not to swear, while Moutet continues using offensive language and later indicates he hopes viewers were not offended. The incident leads to an official fine, reported by several sources as amounting to $40,000, with one report adding that Moutet loses nearly all of his prize money connected to the event. The Athletic and other outlets also note the context that Moutet was discussing what it was like to face an extremely fast serve when the expletives began. Coverage describes widespread controversy following the broadcast, but the accounts are consistent on the number of expletives used, the live nature of the television interview, and the resulting penalty.
