16-year-old Sara Bejlek won a fantastic match against Heather Watson to qualify for the US Open main draw. Sara was obviously elated with her fantastic achievement.
However, social media pointed to something “creepy” that emerged during Bejlek’s celebration when the teenager received what looked to be inappropriate hugs from what appeared to be a coach and her father.

Not this hugging part. But where his hands are

Note to whoever needs this – it’s completely normal to hug someone and keep your arms/hands on their shoulder area. No need to migrate southward.
