Controversy arose on this Sunday at the United Cup 2026. During the singles match between Stan Wawrinka and Flavio Cobolli, the young Italian dropped a ball from his pocket, halting the exchange immediately. Despite the argument with the chair umpire and a discussion with Wawrinka, the rule was clear. Since Cobolli admitted his own fault, the point went to Stan.
