The image of Sara Beylek, who was repeatedly touched by her father and trainer on the bottom, went viral on social media, and the comments were mixed. Days after the incident at the US Open, the 16-year-old had his first reaction.

If the incident had happened in the Czech Republic, no one would have reported it

Sara had some very good matches in the US Open qualifiers where the Czech got past Kristina Mladenovic, Priscilla Hone and Heather Watson to reach the main draw.

She lost in the first round to Lyudmila Samsonova (3-6, 1-6), and a few days after the incident with her father and coach, Sara decided to give her first reaction.

“Of course I saw the pictures. It was a spontaneous reaction of my whole team, we were happy. This may seem awkward and strange to some, but I have already discussed this topic with the team. This will not happen again.

My father is my father and always will be. I have known the coach since I was eight years old. He massages me. If something similar happened in the Czech Republic, nobody would care. But since we are in the USA, everyone has something to say and comment on.

As I mentioned earlier, this will not happen to me” – Sarah Beilekquoted by the Czech press.
