The Czech, who is ranked 194th in the world, was touched on the bottom by the two men for a few seconds and fans of the white sport reacted on Twitter.

“There is no reason why you would touch a 16-year-old girl like that! This is completely inappropriate! As the video continues, it gets worse” or “It’s not the fact that the father is hugging his daughter that’s strange, but where he put his hands” are just some of the comments of netizens.

In the first round of the US Open 2022, Sarah Beilek will meet Lyudmila Samsonova. The Russian won the final of the tournament in Cleveland on Saturday.
