Aleksandar Vukic was startled by a swarm of seagulls and failed to force an all-Australian final in an Eastbourne tournament.
After losing to American prodigy Taylor Fritz in a close match in Atlanta last July, Vukic put the world No. 13 to the test once more in the second semifinal before losing 7-6 (5) 7-6 (4) in a match that lasted an impressive one hour and forty-seven minutes.
But as day gave way to nightfall, Vukic had to deal with a swarm of seagulls in addition to the calibre of play offered by the former Indian Wells winner Fritz.
