In a bizarre mix-up, Alexander Zverev’s tennis bags were mistakenly sent to the Maldives instead of Buenos Aires, where he was scheduled to compete in the ATP 250 tournament. The mix-up left Zverev without his equipment upon arrival in Buenos Aires, as the airline informed him that his bags were 14,000 kilometers away in the Maldives.
Despite the inconvenience, Zverev took the situation in good humor, joking that perhaps it was a sign he needed a vacation. The German tennis star shared a lighthearted post on social media about the mishap, showing his positive attitude in the face of unexpected challenges.
The airline is working to rectify the mistake and get Zverev’s bags to Buenos Aires as quickly as possible. Meanwhile, Zverev will have to make do with borrowed equipment for his matches.
