Sam Querrey caught off guard on air by Kostyuk withdrawal

Former tennis player Sam Querrey faced an awkward moment live on Tennis Channel when he predicted a strong run for Marta Kostyuk at the Italian Open. Co-host Tracy Austin quickly corrected him with the news that the player had already withdrawn.

The incident occurred during a May 6 discussion about potential winners in the women's tournament in Rome. Querrey confidently backed Kostyuk to reach the quarterfinals if she remained in the draw a week later. Austin interrupted to note that Kostyuk had pulled out the previous day due to physical issues following a heavy schedule of matches.
