‘Wake them up!’ Tennis star Vekic amused by dozing fans at Pan Pacific Open match (VIDEO)
Two spectators attending the Toray Pan Pacific Open in Japan were caught sleeping during the first-round match between Croatia’s Donna Vekic and Caroline Garcia of France, triggering plenty of jokes on social media.
In the video which was posted on Twitter, Vekic’s coach Torben Beltz turns around several times after noticing that the two fans sitting behind him appeared to be peacefully napping during the match.
The German specialist, who previously worked with three-time Grand Slam winner Angelique Kerber, surprisingly looked at the pair who were not exactly engrossed by what was going on the court.
Vekic shared the video on her Twitter page, jokingly reproaching her coach for not waking the pair up.
Oh my god 😂😂😂😂😂 @TorbenBeltz why didn’t you wake them up??? https://t.co/nWMtJ19Zxe
