The US Open made an unusual mistake before Francisco Cerúndolo’s third-round match, introducing the Argentine player as Chilean.
As Cerúndolo walked from the locker rooms onto the court, the stadium announcer said he came “from Chile,” an error that tennis fans noticed immediately. The Argentine, ranked 25th by the ATP, was preparing to face American Taylor Fritz, ranked 10th.
The mistake ended on a positive note for Cerúndolo. After dropping the first two sets, he completed a comeback and eliminated Fritz 3-6, 4-6, 6-3, 6-4, 6-4.
