Des stars du tennis sous le choc après une farce à l'Open d'Italie

Des joueuses comme Iga Swiatek et Aryna Sabalenka ont été prises au dépourvu par une farce impliquant un faux vase antique à l'Open d'Italie. L'incident, organisé avec le joueur belge Zizou Bergs, est rapidement devenu viral en raison de son caractère humoristique.

Les organisateurs du tournoi de l'Open d'Italie ont utilisé un vase en terre cuite supposément daté du IIIe siècle av. J.-C. pour piéger plusieurs joueurs de haut niveau. On avait fait croire aux participants que l'objet était trop précieux pour être touché, après avoir été prétendument découvert lors de travaux de rénovation sur les courts six mois plus tôt. Une caméra cachée a enregistré les réactions au moment où le vase a été poussé au sol et brisé.
