Jack Draper’s round-of-16 tie with Luciano Darderi at the Vienna Open was disrupted after a rogue food delivery driver got lost.
It came at a pivotal point in the contest with the first set tied at two games apiece.
Darderi was preparing a serve when he was disturbed by the umpire, who shouted: “Bitte… bitte,” an exclamation in German directed towards the delivery driver.
“Yes you,” he continued, until the clearly confused person eventually got the hint that he needed to sit down.
The television directors quickly got wind of what was going on, with the cameras panning to the man sporting a bright orange
Lieferando t-shirt – the Austrian equivalent of Just Eat.
The players concluded the game, which went the way of the Italian, before the delivery driver was able to successfully complete the order.
How or why a fast food delivery was ordered to the Wiener Stadthalle in the Austrian capital remains unknown, but it certainly sparked plenty of confusion online.
