X-rated interruption brings tennis match to a halt
A loud, love-making couple have hilariously interrupted a tennis match in America.
Young Americans Frances Tiafoe and Mitchell Krueger were competing at the Sarasato Open in the ATP Challenger Tour in Florida when loud noises began to bellow out from a neighbouring apartment building.
Players, officials and commentators were left in utter disbelief as the realisation hit home that they were listening to noises of love.

"Well, that is the most bizarre situation,” announcer Mike Cation said.
"I don’t know how to put this, folks."
Honest to God, the most absurd, and hilariously funny thing I've ever seen...Um....heard. https://t.co/aeuwcJ2AWD

Krueger reacted to the interruption by whacking a ball at the love-making couple's apartment building in an attempt to shut them up.
Meanwhile 19-year-old Tiafoe's reaction was priceless as he heard the loud groans of love - his face said it all.

The noise momentarily died down, but two points later as it picked up again Tiafoe sent the crowd into hysterics as he shouted, “it can’t be that good!”
"No it's not a phone, that's an apartment across the lake!" Caiton confirmed after initially thinking the sounds may have been coming from a phone.

Tiafoe didn't let the distraction go to his his head, going on to win the match in straight sets, 6-3, 6-2.
It's only one of a number of interesting and hilarious distractions we've seen in recent tennis matches.
