Overview
- Corentin Moutet completed a match that resumed on Tuesday after play was halted for fading light, winning 6‑7, 6‑4, 7‑6 to reach the Queen’s second round.
- During Monday evening’s suspension Moutet refused to continue when leading 2‑1 in the deciding set, a decision that pundit Annabel Croft called unfair to his opponent and criticised for overruling officials.
- A post‑match on‑court BBC interview was cut short after Moutet uttered the F‑word seven times, leaving presenter Jenny Drummond to apologise on air and studio hosts to repeat the apology.
- Moutet responded to the circulating clip by posting that he was 'just joking' and hoping no one was offended, while multiple outlets report the ATP is likely to levy a fine though no sanction had been confirmed.
- The episode adds to a record of prior misconduct, including a 2022 disqualification and past fines, and could cost Moutet prize money and further disciplinary measures as he prepares to face either Cameron Norrie or Alejandro Davidovich Fokina next.
