However, recently, the American star faced an awkward moment while performing her routine fitness schedule at the Miami Open. What’s more?

The awkward moment between Prakash and Alison
Following her retirement from the professional circuit, Prakash Amritraj joined the Tennis Channel. Prakash is one of the leading presenters on the Channel. The 38-year-old has his own show by the name of ‘Prakash Worldwide’. In the show, the Los Angeles-born player travels to different cities, covering numerous ATP and WTA events.
A similar incident took place at the 2022 Miami Open. Covering the Miami Open, Prakash was vlogging in and around the Hard Rock Stadium when he spotted his sister-in-law, Alison Riske performing her routine fitness drills.

In the first clip, Alison was seen lying down on the ground and stretching her arms. Focused on her stretching, she refrained from noticing Prakash, However, the vlog took an awkward turn for Alison in the next clip in which Prakash captured her squatting. In the clip, Alison was squatting when Prakash said, “Sister-in-law, doing what she does best, squats.”
Feeling awkward about the situation, Riske asked her brother-in-law to get back and stop shooting her. “Can you get back? What are you doing? I am just squatting. You see my butt.”
Taking it on a light note, Prakash said, “You are known for your squats.” However, re-emphasizing her point, Alison replied, “The World doesn’t need to see it in action.”
