Clare Balding quickly apologised live on air when she made a mistake while previewing Tommy Paul’s Wimbledon quarter-final against Carlos Alcaraz.
The BBC presenter realised her mistake after ex-pro Chanda Rubin started analysing the contest based on Balding’s incorrect fact.
But Rubin jumped in to save Balding after the mix-up.
The BBC’s Wimbledon coverage was once again scuppered by rain early on as play on the outside courts was pushed back on day nine of The Championships. It meant there was more time for Balding and co to preview the quarter-finals taking place on the two main stages with roofs – Centre Court and Court 1.
But there was a mix-up when Balding wrongly claimed that Alcaraz vs Paul was given top billing. Looking back at the American’s run to the last eight, she said: “And today funnily enough will be his first time on Centre Court and that’s a pretty big deal.”
