13kman has come under fire from tennis fans after appearing to touch the body of Kazakhstan star Elena Rybakina during a trophy presentation – prompting her to move his hand away.
The awkward incident unfolded at Indian Wells in California, moments after the Australian Open winner won a mixed doubles exhibition match with Taylor Fritz.
Rybakina, 26, and local favourite Fritz won the Eisenhower Cup and were awarded a cheque for $200,000 (£150,000).
They were presented with individual trophies and David Renker, senior vice president of Eisenhower Health, was seen putting his arm behind Rybakina at the presentation.
The two-time Grand Slam champion was then spotted immediately nudging Renker's hand away as the cameras kept rolling.
As Rybakina turned to stare in his direction, Renker took a step backwards.
