Have you ever had to burst a ball in the middle of a match? Franco Stupaczuk did it, twice in a row.
Let's go back two months.
While the round of XNUMX of the WPT Vigo Open were in full swing in the Galician region, a strange and unusual thing happened during the match Ausberger / Rico – Di Nenno / Stupazcuk.
Indeed, the latter, after a powerful smash as he has the secret, stops the point to signal to the referee that the ball had just burst. As the rule states, the point must be replayed.
This is how the four players resumed their place on the track, but after a few seconds of play, again. The “Chaqueño” who had just slammed his jump smash stopped the game to signal once again to the referee that this new ball had just burst.
Jose Rico couldn't believe his eyes and asked to see the ball. Stunned, he burst out laughing immediately, telling Carlos Pozzoni the coach of his adversaries “it's impossible, I've never seen that in my life”.
Hilarious, the four protagonists returned to the track, putting the point again, with a Stupa, perplexed.
An entertaining moment which offered a touch of lightness to the meeting and a great dose of laughter to the spectators in the stands.
