What happened at the Congo Challenger and the clarification of ATP

An unusual, very striking and even bizarre situation took place this Tuesday during the dispute of the first round of the Challenger of Brazzaville, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. A match had to be momentarily suspended by a shooting.

He faced Guy den Ouden, Dutch located in the 341st position of the ranking and fifth favorite to keep the title, in front of the Russian IVAN DENISOV (1119 °). Denisov took with the marked two in the second set, after losing 6-1 the first, and at that time it was that the shots were heard. They came from the other side of a green wall, right next to the court. And the encounter was logically stopped.

At first it was believed that it was some kind of armed confrontation. However, minutes later it was the ATP Challenger Tour account that denied that version that quickly toured social networks. “We can confirm that the game was temporarily suspended in Brazzaville Challenger, in the Republic of Congo, Due to a routine training exercise carried out by a nearby police academy “, It says part of the statement published a few hours after the incident.

“The suspension lasted approximately 10 minutes, after which the game resumed without problems,” he adds later.

Indeed, the party continued and the trend remained. Den Ouden exercised his favoritism with authority and won 6-1 and 6-3 in an hour and 41 minutes to mention in the next instance with the Brazilian Paulo Andre Saraiva Dos Santos, 818 ° of the World Classification.
