Italian Open Match Halted by Fireworks Smoke as Darderi Reaches Semi-Finals

Posted : 14 May 2026

A match at the Italian Open was briefly suspended for nearly 20 minutes after smoke from fireworks celebrating Inter Milan’s Coppa Italia win drifted into the stadium.

The disruption affected visibility and the electronic line-calling system during a late-night quarter-final in Rome.

Luciano Darderi eventually defeated Rafael Jodar in three sets after 2am to reach his first ATP Masters 1000 semi-final.
