Famous tennis player Frances Tiafoe, ranked 17th in the world, faced an amusing situation at the Masters tournament in Indian Wells. He came out for the second round match against Damir Dzumhur, having forgotten to bring his rackets.
When Tiafoe arrived on the court and opened his sports bag, it turned out that the rackets were missing. This curious incident led to a delay in the start of the match by more than 10 minutes, while the athlete’s coach brought the necessary rackets from the locker room.
Despite this oversight, the umpire decided not to impose any penalties on Tiafoe. Ultimately, Tiafoe was able to win this match, defeating Damir Dzumhur, the 84th-ranked player in the world, in two sets with the same score 7/6(4), 7/6(7).
In the next round of the tournament, Tiafoe will face Japanese tennis player Yosuke Watanuki on the court.
