Tennis star Alejandro Davidovich Fokina accidentally swore live on Sky Sports following his victory over Jack Draper at the Monte Carlo Masters on Thursday.
Draper had gone into the showdown hoping to make the quarter-finals, having previously beaten Marco Giron.
However, the Briton struggled for form during the match in France - with Fokina winning 7-3, 6-7 (6-8), 6-4 to make the last eight.
Speaking live on Sky Sports in the immediate aftermath, the Spaniard was happy to open up.

But Fokina also accidentally swore while addressing his state of mind.
"That was not my best tennis and not my best mental strategy," he stated.
"Today was a very rollercoaster with my mind. I thought I was playing better but my mind was saying a lot of bulls**t.

“I don't know how to control today the emotions. I'm very emotional today to play here.
"I didn't respect myself first and didn't respect my team and I'm so sorry how I did it today. I'm happy for the win and I'm going to try to improve for tomorrow.
"I will not tell you but today Jack could've won, he was playing better than me.
"I was struggling at every point but I knew how to manage to stay on my serve for the first set and try all I have in my body in the last game. I'm happy how I did it, the last game."

“Look, I was hoping it was not going to happen, but it was quite a high probability I'm going to play this way. I don't know.
“Just horrible. Horrible feeling to play this way, and just sorry for all the people that have to witness this.”
He added: "I expected myself at least to have put a decent performance. Not like this. It was horrible. I did not have high expectations, really.
“I knew I'm gonna have a tough opponent and I knew I'm gonna probably play pretty bad. But this bad, I didn't expect.”
