US Open/ Kiss on the lips and touching the rear with the father and the coach,

The world of tennis had an extraordinary reaction today, after a video circulated on social networks, shortly after the victory of 16-year-old Czech tennis player Sara Bejlek to qualify for the US Open.

Bejlek qualified for her first Grand Slam tournament by defeating a number of opponents, the latest being Heather Watson of the United Kingdom.

After the Czech teenager's win over Watson, cameras caught two men, later identified as Bejlek's father and coach, celebrating with her.

But the hug with both men after the triumph would make headlines as they were seen fondling the 16-year-old's bottom, with the father going even further, kissing her on the lips.

As the International Tennis Federation (WTA) has been called on social networks to investigate the incident, Bejlek shared her opinion on the case.

"Of course I saw the video. It was a spontaneous reaction of the whole team. We were happy. It might seem inconvenient and uncomfortable for some, but we've already discussed it with the team. It won't happen again," Bejlek told reporters.

The promising striker then added: “Dad is my father and always will be. And I know the coach since I was 8 years old. He massages me," she added.

"If something similar happened in the Czech Republic, nobody 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.
