France’s Corentin Moutet has lost almost his entire Queen’s prize money after being fined $40,000 (\u00a330,325) for swearing seven times in a live BBC television interview.<\/p>\n
The 27-year-old has been given the maximum punishment for unsportsmanlike behaviour at the west London club by the ATP Tour – but has appealed against the fine.<\/p>\n
Moutet earned prize money of about \u00a332,800 for reaching the second round at the ATP 500 event.<\/p>\n
The world number 36 repeatedly swore in an on-court interview following his first-round win against compatriot Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard on Tuesday. <\/p>\n
Moutet subsequently lost to Spain’s Alejandro Davidovich Fokina in the last 16 on Thursday.<\/p>\n
Shortly after the interview, Moutet wrote on Instagram that he was “just joking” and hoped people “didn’t get offended”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"France’s Corentin Moutet has lost almost his entire Queen’s prize money after being fined $40,000 (\u00a330,325) for swearing…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":747097,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[565],"tags":[64,63,85,747],"class_list":["post-747096","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tennis","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-sports","tag-tennis"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/747096","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=747096"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/747096\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/747097"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=747096"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=747096"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=747096"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
