The match between Felix Auger Aliassime and Alejandro Davidovich Fokina at the Australian Open was stopped after seven games in the first set.
The reason is not rain and weather conditions, as it usually happens in tennis tournaments, but two tennis players’ dissatisfaction with the conditions in which they had to play.
Namely, with the score 4:3, the two tennis players asked the referee to stop the match because it was very noisy around them. The duo played on court number eight, which is close to “six”, also known as the party court. In fact, it is the field that is closest to the bars where alcohol is served, so the fans are the loudest there, writes Klix.

The fans were in a very good mood watching the match in between Arthur Cazaux and Jacob Fearnleythe atmosphere was as if it was the Davis Cup, which did not bother the French and the British, but it did for Fokina and Auger Aliassime.
When they both realized they were on the same side about this bizarre questioncontacts with the organizers began to change something. It was not possible to go to the “six” and ask the fans to be quiet, so it was suggested that the two of them in the middle of the match change the terrain and move to the “week”.
They accepted without question even though they knew that this would break the rhythm, so the fans were also informed to move to the new field and see off the continuation of the match there.
By the way, the Spaniard Davidovich Fokina is made a surprise and after a big turn, knocked out the 29th tennis player in the world Auger Aliassime with 3:2 in sets, it was 6:7 (7), 6:7 (5), 6:4, 6:1, 6:3.
