Double fault! Tennis banner blunder in Cape Town raised eyebrows in 2020

Twitter users noticed a mistake on a tennis poster in February 2020 and we won't easily forget.

The King Of Clay, Rafael Nadal, and The King Of Grass, Roger Federer, headed to Cape Town in February 2020 for a charity match!

In an interview with Vogue, Federer confirmed that he and his greatest rival would be attempting to break the attendance record in Cape Town. They sure did!

Seeing as the Grand Slams were not what they usually are and some tournaments had to be moved out, we were spoiled by a charity match before the COVID-19 pandemic hit South Africa. 

Ahead of the much-anticipated match, a puzzling poster was seen in the Cape Quarter centre in Green Point. The poster was supposed to have pictures of Federer and Nadal, but instead replaced Nadal with an image of Novak Djokovic.

In our books, that's a double fault!
