An unprecedented situation occurred in the match between Chile and Belgium in the 2025 Davis Cup. During the match between Zizou Bergs and Cristian Garín, tension rose dramatically when the Belgian broke the Chilean's serve at 5-5 in the third set. Zizou celebrated so vigorously that he seemed not to see Garín heading to the bench for the final break of the match. He collided with him, causing Cristian to fall to the ground stunned, leading to the game being stopped to the disbelief of the entire stadium at what had just happened.

After tense moments where the Chilean team demanded Bergs' disqualification from supervisor Carlos Ramos, Garín decided not to continue playing due to being completely outraged by the situation: "He hit me, and I passed out, I had never passed out in my life", expressed the Chilean tennis player. Eventually, the chair umpire penalized Garín with three warnings, resulting in his disqualification and Chile's elimination from the competition.
