BBC presenters during coverage of the Queen’s Club tennis tournament apologise after French player Corentin Moutet repeatedly swears during a live post-match on-court interview. Multiple reports say the incident happens on Tuesday, after Moutet beats Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard in the second round. Sources describe Moutet using multiple F-bomb expletives—reported as seven times within a short span—while speaking to the BBC interviewer. One account says the presenter asks him not to swear during the conversation, but he continues. The Mirror reports that the BBC cuts the interview short in response to the repeated swearing. The Independent and other outlets also note that the broadcaster is forced to apologise. The Athletic adds that Moutet begins swearing while discussing the experience of facing a very fast serve, described by the outlet as coming from a 142 mph delivery. Across reports, the core details are that the language occurs during a live interview segment at Queen’s Club and prompts an on-air response from the BBC, including an apology afterwards.
