A celebratory fireworks display honoring Inter Milan’s Coppa Italia triumph plunged the Centrale stadium’s electronic system into disarray, forcing a 19-minute stoppage of play in the Darderi-Jodar match.
The umpire was compelled to halt the game after the electronic system erroneously flagged a foul during a rally when the score was 6-5 in the first set. The malfunction, triggered by the pyrotechnic spectacle, rendered the system unusable, leading to the extensive delay.
