Athletistic / Tennis. The famous American tennis player Chris Evert, 18 times Grand Slam champion, made a funny slip during her first round match at Wimbledon. The incident happened during a meeting of current Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina (Kazakhstan).

Speaking about Rybakina, Evert recalled that the tennis player changed her nationality. At the same time, she renamed Kazakhstan to Kasatkina.

“Rybakina is Russian. She competed for Russia and then moved to Kasatkina,” Evert said.

Rybakina reached the 2nd round of Wimbledon

Evert’s reporting partner drew attention to the reserve. As a result, Chris immediately apologized and admitted the mistake.
