Matteo Unico to finish a match in a Madrid without electricity: the chair judge updated the result and decided if the ball was inside or outside. Maybe this is the way: more humanity
If it were a fairy tale by Gianni Rodari, it would play more or less like this: “Once upon a time there was the Var, tired of being contested by the players. The haywill of the tennis Falco was no less annoyed. At the Masters 1000 in Madrid, the German Zverev had even photographed with a cell phone the brand of the ball over to prove to demonstrate that the electronic judge was wrong. The measure was full. And they called the strike: ‘Dear Sapientoni men, now you get away with yourself!’. ” In reality, yesterday, at 12.30, an electric blackout paralyzed Spain, Portugal and southern France. Air, airports, traffic lights, people trapped in the metro, emergencies in hospitals have stopped … Barcelona trained in its technical center using emergency generators, while Inter tried to understand if today’s trip was at risk in Catalonia. Hours of confusion and restlessness, while the authorities tried to trace the origin of the failure, without excluding hacked hypotheses. A part of the firm, frightened world, not because of a flood or a natural event, but of the work of its ingenuity of which it has lost control.

A single game was completed in Madrid, after the blackout, that of our Matteo Arnaldi who won in two sets. The chair judge Mohamed Lahyani arbitrated without scores, nor hawk eyes. He updated the result and decided if the ball was inside or outside. Gianni Rodari would have applauded in the front row. Perhaps this is the way: more humanity.
