The draw for the WTA San Diego Open surprised fans, although this time it wasn't the matchups that grabbed attention. The American tournament promises to be an interesting event with players like Jessica Pegula, Caroline Wozniacki, Beatriz Haddad Maia, and Leylah Fernandez, among others.
The tournament organization made the main draw public through an image projected in PowerPoint. Fans noticed that most of the names were marked in red by the program's spell checker, and even one of the names was misspelled.
The one affected by this was Varvara Gracheva, whose name was written as "Vavara." Additionally, the red underline marked practically all the players' last names, and the draw was shared from a computer without even using the full screen.
Fans reacted with amusement to a presentation they considered "unprofessional," although most took it in good humor.
“My favorite thing about the American tournaments has always been the low quality draw reveal streams on the TennisOne app…now they’ve taken it a hilarious step lower….girl not a PowerPoint presentation with spell checks still visible😩😩😩😩😩😩”
