A journalist at Wimbledon asked Tomas Berdych how it felt to win his match after he'd actually lost it.

The incredible blunder came after Berdych - ranked sixth in the world - lost in straight sets to Frenchman Gilles Simon 6-3, 6-3, 6-2.

The red faced reporter apologised when Berdych thought it was a joke and another colleague had to quickly change the subject.

It's the first time Simon has reached the quarter-finals at Wimbledon and he will now face Roger Federer.
