Summary
Turkish tennis star Zeynep Sönmez suffered a nasty tumble during her French Open doubles match, tripping over a raised Lacoste ad and requiring stitches after just two games. It’s not the first time — other players, including Katie Boulter, have also fallen victim to these court ads, prompting calls for their removal. With her team down 2-0, Sönmez was forced out, handing the win to her opponents. The incident highlights a glaring flaw in tournament setup — maybe it’s time to rethink how branding intrudes on the game. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
