Sky Sports issued an apology during its coverage of the Italian Open after showing Serbian player Hamad Medjedovic vomiting on court. The incident occurred during a third-round match on Court Pietrangeli. Commentator Naomi Cavaday addressed viewers directly as the moment aired.
Medjedovic was serving for the match against Mariano Navone when he walked to the back of the court and became ill. The three-hour contest had taken a toll on the world No. 67, who had fought back from a set down to reach match point. Cavaday said, “Sorry that we got that on camera, everyone,” before noting the player needed a brief delay to recover.
