All sports events have their share of off-field entertainment. It maybe banter between the players, a dog running onto the field and disrupting play or even a streaker calling out for attention. During The Sarasota Open (2017) match between Francis Tiafoe and Mitchell Krueger the interruption was, however, something that the commentator, Mike Cation, called "the most bizarre situation".
It was during the second set, when Tiafoe, who was leading 3-2, having won the first set (6-3) chuckled aloud and pulled out of his serve after he heard loud voices, which as the commentator said, were supposedly coming from an adult film on a spectators phone in the stands. His opponent, Mitchell Krueger, even struck a tennis ball into the crowd, possibly thinking that at least that would make the spectator turn his attention back to the game!
The commentator later added that the sounds were actually from an apartment across the lake. He said "at least somebody's having a good time" but the voices continued as did the banter. When his next serve was again interrupted, Tiafoe shouted out, laughingly, "it can't be that good". No respite though. The loud sounds persisted. One even saw an embarrassed mother instructing her son to block his ears.
The video has now gone viral on social media giving many sports enthusiasts something to laugh about during the course of the day.
