Former American tennis player Mary Carillo made a hilarious
error while commentating in the US Open 2023.
The fourth and final Grand Slam of the year is moving
towards the business end as the remaining players are battling it out to secure
the ultimate prize.
During the quarterfinal in the women’s singles category between
America’s Coco Gauff and Latvia’s Jeļena Ostapenko on Tuesday, Carillo made a
hilarious error while commentating.
The 66-year-old stated that the current men’s world number
two Serbia’s Novak Djokovic will face Taylor Swift instead of America’s Taylor
Fritz in the last-eight clash of the mega-event.
The 36-year-old went on to register a thumping win in
straight sets as he looked simply unplayable on the day with a score of 6-1, 6-4,
6-4 to book his spot in the last four.
That win helped Djokovic secure his place in the 47th
semifinal of a Grand Slam, equaling the record of the former world number one
Switzerland’s Roger Federer.
He is now set to face American young tennis sensation Ben
Shelton who will be playing in his first-ever Grand Slam semifinal.
The 20-year-old defeated fellow countryman Frances Tiafoe in
the last-eight encounter with a score of 6-2, 3-6, 7-6, 6-2.

- Maybe Faurel can school Gilbert on European showers!!
mandoist25-06-2024 - hey Coco, since you insist on reading your comments, etc... please tell your Coach Gilbert to stop pissing & moaning about showers in Europe. Also, remind him bad dining experiences are universal. He's being The Ugly American when he generalizes about "all of Europe's bad hotels".mandoist25-06-2024
- Was recalling the past week. I no more need to see a trend where someone's girlfriend intrudes on the winner's court than I need to see Azarenka playing nursery with her kid on the court while they attempt to prep for the next match. Of course, part of that was Wolfgang feeling he somehow had a right to encourage and choreograph that display.mandoist25-06-2024

- It's been an ongoing issue for too long now. Even though it's not our business to know the details... it's worrisome; disconcerting even. "Gastrointestinal" covers many things. My concern, as an Ulcerative Colitis patient since 1976, is that she has some form of Colitis. I recognize reactions and symptoms. If so, perhaps knowing this others would be encouraged by her own courage in plowing forth while dealing. Anyway, pretty sure I wouldn't reveal details myself but at least give us a reason to feel better for Elena.mandoist25-06-2024
