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.
