The Italian tennis player was deducted 3 points in a row for overtime in the toilet, and the rare penalty caused heated discussions among fans

Italian player Nardi recently deducted 3 points from the referee for overtime in the 2025 Turin Men's Tennis Challenge, and even lost the serve, and the rare penalty caused heated discussions among fans.

Nardi

In the first round of singles, Nardi and Argentine opponent Navone fought fiercely for 3 sets, and when the two sides were deadlocked at 5:5, the 21-year-old landlord player applied for a "toilet timeout" because of internal urgency, but the referee returned to the court but deducted 3 points in a row on the grounds of exceeding the specified time, resulting in Nardi's serve starting from 0:40, and the result was broken. Although he immediately broke back to pull the line into a tiebreaker and narrowly won 6-1, 5-7, 7-6 (7-2), he said bluntly after the match: "This is definitely one of the most dramatic matches of my career. ”

Although Nardi had stopped in the second round, the video of the game where she was penalized for going to the toilet for overtime is still going viral on social media. According to ATP regulations, players are not allowed to go to the toilet for more than 3 minutes during the game, and will be accompanied by a special person in the conference to time, if they change clothes for another 2 minutes, they may face warnings, penalties or even penalties from the presiding judge.
