ATP admin makes glaring error on social media while announcing Barcelona Open semifinal lineup

ATP admin made a glaring error on social media platform during the coverage of the Barcelona Open. The ATP 500 event is edging closer to its completion after the semifinal lineup was completed on Friday.

Admin on the social media platform X — previously known as Twitter — page of the ATP made a glaring error by sharing a collage of four semifinalists. However, it seems the admin uploaded the wrong collage. The picture featured French young tennis star Arthur Fils as one of the four semifinalists but he is not on the actual list of semifinalists as he lost to Serbia’s Dusan Lajovic in the quarterfinal with a score 6-4, 3-6, 6-2.

Unsurprisingly, the picture was deleted. Lajovic is set to face Greece’s Stefanos Tsitsipas in the last-four contest who booked his place after beating Facundo Diaz Acosta of Argentina with a score of 4-6, 6-3, 7-6. The other semifinal will be played between Norway’s Casper Ruud and Argentina’s Tomas Martin Etcheverry. The former world number two defeated Italy’s Matteo Arnaldi in the quarterfinal in straight sets with a score of 6-4, 6-3. On the other hand, Martin Etcheverr booked his place in the last four after beating Britain’s Cameron Norrie in straight sets with a score of 7-6, 7-6.
