\u201cI\u2019m going to ask you one more question, so please keep it clean, okay?<\/p>\n
\u201cYou on the grass last week, unfortunately, it didn\u2019t go your way. What\u2019s it like to get your first victory?\u201d<\/p>\n
Moutet decided not to keep his response clean.<\/p>\n
\u201cF***, f***, f***,\u201d he said again, with Drummond then cutting the interview short.<\/p>\n
BBC presenter Clare Balding apologised again for the language Moutet used.<\/p>\n
\u201cCorentin Moutet living up to his bad-boy image,\u201d Balding said.<\/p>\n
\u201cChaos makes the muse is what he wrote on the camera screen there.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a tattoo that he has as well and, yep, chaos is what he can create.\u201d<\/p>\n
The championships later posted a video of the interview on social media, with Moutet responding in the comments.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was just joking I hope you guys didn\u2019t get offended,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThanks for the love.\u201d<\/p>\n
Moutet has been embroiled in controversy at Queen\u2019s before as he appeared to call an umpire a \u201cf***ing t***\u201d during an on-court argument last year.<\/p>\n
In 2022, he swore at an umpire during the Adelaide International, causing him to be defaulted.<\/p>\n
The French Tennis Federation dropped him in November of the same year because of his behaviour, causing Moutet to lose financial aid.<\/p>\n
Moutet was also seen asking if Kazakh Alexander Bublik wanted to fight during an argument the pair were having in March last year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cApologies, everyone, for the language there,\u201d Drummond said.
