Emma Raducanu accidentally swears on TV in funny mishap

Emma Raducanu was left in hysterics after accidentally swearing in Italian during a TV interview.

The 19-year-old is currently in Rome for the Italian Open, with her opening match against Bianca Andreescu scheduled for this evening.

Raducanu was being interviewed by SuperTennis TV when she was asked if she had learned any Italian yet.

She replied: “Err… I did… like, que cazzo?” The phrase roughly translates as “What the f***”, which soon became apparent when the interviewer let out a surprised gasp.

“Is that a bad word?” Raducanu said, with the interviewer replying: “A little bit.”

Raducanu then added: “My friend taught me that word. Cut that one. What does it mean?”

When the interviewer said she would tell Raducanu the meaning of the phrase at the end of the interview, the British tennis star expressed her disbelief about swearing on camera before bursting into laughter.

“Oh my god, erm… Bongiorno,” Raducanu said. “I can’t believe I just fully swore on camera!”

Raducanu is normally exemplary with her language skills – she is fluent in Mandarin and Romanian, and has given a post-match interview in the latter.

Chi spiega ad @EmmaRaducanu il significato di *QUELLA* parola??
