Coco Gauff, Alexandra Eala and Eva Lys were among guests forced to leave the Waldorf Astoria hotel in Berlin early on Wednesday morning after a fire alarm sounded at nearly 3:45 AM local time. The incident proved to be a false alarm caused by a technical issue.
A hotel spokesperson told BILD that there was no danger at any time. Guests returned to their rooms shortly afterward.
Eva Lys shared a photo on Instagram showing Gauff and Eala outside the hotel with a fire truck, captioned “3 AM fire alarm fit check.” Both players reposted the image.
The disruption came ahead of scheduled matches at a Berlin tournament. Eala defeated Donna Vekic 7-5, 6-4 in her 11 AM opener. Gauff, who received a first-round bye, was set to play at 3:30 PM.
