But Stefanos Tsitsipas and Andrey Rublev suffered heartbreak as their pyramid collapsed upon placing the last ball on top. Diego Schwartzman‘s pyramid was a mess whereas Alexander Zverev was silently building his pyramid.
Tsitsipas although would love to let the tennis ball flow off his racket on the court, here in the challenge, he was frustrated with the base of the pyramid moving around.
“Why is this moving? Why is the ball moving? Just stay there!”
Although most of them had a lot of fuss, Zverev and Thiem easily completed the contest. Zverev was the quickest of all, having completed the contest in 35 seconds. Second came Thiem, who completed the challenge in 53 seconds.
After his win, Zverev made a cheeky comment: “I know how to handle tennis balls I guess.”
