Life on the ATP Tour may require strict adherence to a healthy diet, but a trio of stars were surrounded by sweet treats at the BNP Paribas Fortis European Open on Monday.
#NextGenATP Brazilian Joao Fonseca, home favorite Zizou Bergs and Top 20 Czech Jiri Lehecka were given a special task at the media day in Brussels: Decorate a cake to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the indoor hard court ATP 250.
Perhaps it was Bergs’ experience growing up in a country known for its cakes, chocolate and other desserts that proved decisive, and the Belgian was crowned the winner by tournament director Dick Norman. It was an early ‘triumph’ off the court in Brussels for the number 39 of the PIF ATP rankings, who will look to support him on the court on Tuesday evening when he takes on his compatriot Raphael Collignon in the first round.
