Sam Querrey colto di sorpresa in diretta dal ritiro di Kostyuk

L'ex tennista Sam Querrey ha vissuto un momento imbarazzante in diretta su Tennis Channel, quando ha previsto un percorso brillante per Marta Kostyuk agli Internazionali d'Italia. La co-conduttrice Tracy Austin lo ha prontamente corretto, informandolo che la giocatrice si era già ritirata dal torneo.

L'episodio è avvenuto il 6 maggio durante una discussione sulle potenziali vincitrici del torneo femminile a Roma. Querrey aveva puntato con sicurezza sulla Kostyuk, prevedendo che avrebbe raggiunto i quarti di finale se fosse rimasta in tabellone una settimana dopo. La Austin è intervenuta per precisare che la Kostyuk si era ritirata il giorno precedente a causa di problemi fisici dovuti a un intenso calendario di partite.
