Smith was discussing British tennis ace Jacob Fearnley ahead of his second-round clash with world no32 Tomás Martín Etcheverry.
She mentioned how he had to come through qualifying to reach the tournament but brilliantly mispronounced ‘ranked’.

“He had to come through qualifying, currently w**ked… ranked. Sorry.”

But his tournament came to an end at the hands of the Argentine ace.
He lost the game 6-3 6-3 3-6 6-3 on court 12 as he crashed out of the US Open.
