Moutet used the “F” word an astonishing seven times during his post-match chat with interviewer Jenny Drummond, following his three-set victory over compatriot Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard. Interviewer Jenny Drummond was forced to apologise to tea-time viewers for Moutet’s outburst, with presenter Clare Balding reiterating apologies back in the studio. Co-presenter Annabel Croft, a former British number one, described Moutet’s conduct as “appalling”, while Balding noted he was “living up to his bad-boy image”. Despite earning approximately £33,000 for his win, Moutet is expected to lose a significant portion of his winnings in the form of a fine from the ATP.
