Czech tennis star, 16: celebrations where father and coach grabbed her BACKSIDE
Sara Bejlek is already out of the US Open but thanks to an awkward video that has gone viral, she has already become one of the talking points of the week.

The 16-year-old Czech qualified for her first Grand Slam tournament by defeating a number of opponents last week, including an impressive win over the UK's Heather Watson.
After that Watson victory, cameras caught two men - identified as Bejlek's father and coach - celebrating with her.
As the cameras lingered, both men were seen patting her on the backside with her father seemingly kissing her on the mouth.
While social media made calls for the WTA to investigate the incident, Bejlek shared her thoughts on the incident.
'Of course I saw the video. It was a spontaneous reaction of the whole team. We rejoiced,' Bejlek said to reporters.

'It may certainly seem inconvenient and uncomfortable to some, but we have already discussed it with the team. It won't happen again.'

While that incident occurred during her first qualifying match, it gained traction just before she took on the world No. 35 player Liudmila Samsonova of Russia.

She lost that match in straight sets 6-3, 6-1.
Before that match, she responded to concerns and criticisms of the two men pictured.

'Dad is my dad and always will be. And I've known the coach since I was eight years old. He tapes me, he massages me,' she added.

'If something similar happened in the Czech Republic, no one would deal with it. But since we are in America, everyone comments on it.

'But as I say, we talked and it won't happen again.
