Internationals of Italy – Tennis: Sonego’s match at risk for a broken pipe

A broken pipe risked blowing up the match between Lorenzo Sonego (67th Atp) and Russian Karen Khachanov (13th Atp) of the Internazionali at Foro Italico. The sudden break of a pipe used to water the field flooded, within a few minutes, a small part of the field of the Grand Stand Arena. Fortunately, the timely intervention of the employees interrupted the flow of water and dried the mud by spreading a little red soil. The match was smooth and Khachanov eventually won.
