Epic blunder by Laura Robson during TV filming

According to The Sun: Laura Robson, former British tennis player, found herself in an awkward situation during a live broadcast on Sky Sports while covering the US Open in New York.

The team led by Gigi Salmon shifted from tennis topics to discuss an incident that occurred during the match of world number one Aryna Sabalenka, who defeated Leylah Fernandez.

In the middle of the match, a fan proposed to his girlfriend right in the stands of Arthur Ashe Stadium. This happy moment appeared on the big screen.

After the match, the Sky team, which included Salmon, Robson, Tim Henman, and Martina Navratilova, discussed this event. But Robson was unaware that Navratilova had already proposed to her wife, Julia Lemigova, at the same stadium in 2014.

“I couldn't think of anything worse, honestly,” noted Robson.

To this, Navratilova replied:

“I proposed to Julia at Arshi 11 years ago.”

Embarrassed, Robson joked:

“I will just show myself out! I didn't know this,”

Navratilova shared details of her proposal, telling how everything happened during the match.

Robson, listening to this story, noted:

“And they are still together.”

When Navratilova hugged Robson in understanding, the latter tried to change the subject, noting:

“Wow, there's a lot of tennis today, huh?”

Sabalenka also commented on the proposal, sending a message to her boyfriend:

“This is such a sweet moment, I’m happy for them,”

This situation during the US Open became an extremely popular and sought-after topic for discussion, causing a wide resonance among tennis fans. As seen from reports and celebratory moments, sporting events sometimes turn into arenas for personal confessions and romantic gestures, making them even more memorable.

With the proposal moment becoming a part of tennis history, the attention to the US Open is increasing, as now many viewers eagerly await new emotional moments and surprises during the competitions.
