The ATP has fined French tennis player Corentin Moutet $40,000 for using profane language during a post-match interview following his victory at the HSBC Championships on June 19, 2026. The incident occurred at The Queen’s Club in London, where Moutet's remarks were deemed unsportsmanlike conduct by ATP officials. Moutet has stated that he will appeal the fine, which will be reviewed by the ATP Tour Compliance Committee. Moutet's tournament run ended after a loss to Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, leaving him with approximately $23,000 from his first-round win, which will be offset by the fine.
