Czech teenager comments on bum-touching at US Open (VIDEO)

Sara Bejlek was seen being patted on the backside and kissed by her father and coach

Czech tennis player Sara Bejlek has told tennis fans that the scenes which saw her father and coach celebrating a win with her at the US Open "won't happen again," after a clip showing them patting her several times on the backside triggered debate.    

The sixteen-year-old went viral after qualifying for her first ever Grand Slam tournament by seeing off Heather Watson. 

In the moments that followed the win, cameras caught two men later identified as the youngster's father and coach celebrating the triumph by patting her on the backside and, in her father's case, kissing her on the mouth.

Numerous social media users were outraged with the display, demanding that the WTA women's tour investigate the incident.

"There’s absolutely no reason to touch a 16-year-old girl on her butt like that. It’s beyond inappropriate," one onlooker tweeted of the "creepy" exchange.

"As the video progressed it got worse and worse."
