The Cordoba Open, an ATP 250 event, experienced an unexpected and unprecedented incident when an adult video suddenly appeared on a large screen at the tournament grounds. This shocking occurrence took place in front of one of the food court areas, causing astonishment among the attending fans.
The organizers of the tournament have yet to formally address this embarrassing mishap, which has subsequently garnered widespread attention on social media platforms. Notably, Australian tennis star Thanasi Kokkinakis shared his reaction to the unexpected turn of events via social media.
It has been reported that the explicit video played for several minutes before it was finally taken down, resulting in a wave of reactions from both fans and players. The incident has raised significant questions regarding how such a blunder could have taken place at a professional sporting event.
The disruption has cast a shadow over the upcoming matches, including an all-Argentine face-off and a showdown between Daniel Galan and Jaume Munar. Despite the chaos, the tournament organizers are undoubtedly hoping for a smoother and incident-free main draw, which is set to commence shortly.
Established in 2019, the Cordoba Open heralds the commencement of the ‘golden swing’ – a series of clay-court tournaments held in Latin America throughout February. Last year’s champion, Sebastian Baez, is poised to defend his title amidst the unexpected controversy surrounding the event.
As the ATP event continues, fans and players alike are eagerly anticipating how the tournament will unfold following the highly unusual and disruptive occurrence. The eyes of the tennis world are sure to be on the Cordoba Open in the coming days, as the event strives to move past the incident and deliver an exciting showcase of top-level tennis.
