Interviewer's awkward 'sex' blunder with tennis player on live TV gets cheeky reply

During a live post-match interview, tennis player Sebastian Korda responded humorously to an awkward slip of the tongue by the interviewer.

During a live broadcast, tennis star Sebastian Korda faced a humorous moment when court-side reporter Michelle Yu accidentally asked him about having 'sex' with his opponent, instead of 'success'. This blunder occurred right after Korda's impressive victory against Flavio Cobolli in the semi-finals of the Delray Beach tournament, where he showcased a strong performance, particularly in the second set, winning convincingly with a score of 7-6(1) 6-1.

Korda's win marked a significant continuation of his winning streak against Cobolli, who he had previously defeated in both the 2024 Washington Open final and the Italian Open earlier this year, making his record against Cobolli an impressive 3-0. The slip-up by the interviewer not only added a lighthearted touch to the interview but also underscored the unpredictability of live sports broadcasts, where even seasoned journalists can make awkward mistakes.

The incident illustrates the sometimes playful and humorous side of sports interviews, especially in high-pressure environments where athletes and interviewers share moments that resonate with audiences. This particular interaction has gone viral, showcasing Korda's cheeky personality while highlighting the unexpected surprises that can arise during live coverage.
