The BBC was left red-faced after French tennis sensation Corentin Moutet unleashed a string of expletives live on air during a post-match interview at the Queen's Club Championships. It was a shocking moment that had viewers - and no doubt some young fans watching with their families - cringing in embarrassment as the usually articulate Moutet let his emotions get the better of him.
Moutet, who'd just battled past compatriot Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard 6-4, 3-6, 6-2 in a hard-fought three-set victory, was visibly pumped up when quizzed by Jenny Drummond about Mpetshi Perricard's thunderous second serve that saved a match point. But instead of lauding the athleticism on show, Moutet's response was a foul-mouthed outburst - one that left Drummond momentarily stunned and apologising to viewers for the language.
Despite her best efforts to steer the interview back on track, Moutet continued to swear, leaving Drummond no choice but to cut short what promised to be an engaging chat. Back in the studio, Clare Balding re-iterated the BBC's apologies, acknowledging Moutet's reputation as a free spirit and referencing his 'Chaos makes the muses' tattoo - which now seems aptly ironic.
Moutet is likely to face a hefty fine from the ATP for his on-court antics, with £33,000 of his prize money potentially being docked. The tennis governing body has yet to comment on the incident, but one thing's for sure: Moutet will be having a word with himself about his conduct before heading into Wimbledon later this month.
The men's tournament at Queen's may have just wrapped up, but British eyes are already fixed on the third Grand Slam of the year - and home hero Emma Raducanu is set to make a welcome return to centre stage. Fresh from her impressive run in last week's women's event, where she reached the final before falling to Donna Vekic, Raducanu will be hoping to build on that momentum when Wimbledon gets underway.
