Mumbai — To avoid repeating the unfathomable blunder from her legendary tennis match where she “misplaced” the ball mid-shot, ace tennis sensation Jelena Ostapenko has been forced to attach a gigantic GPS tracker to her racquet.
Ostapenko: The Walking, Talking, Racket-Swinging GPS Tracker
In an unusual move entirely devoid of subtlety, the World Tennis Association (WTA), in collaboration with Lost & Found Solutions Ltd., has issued a special regulation for Jelena. The world-renowned player must now carry a tennis racquet equipped with a high-end GPS tracker, a device previously used for tracking wild elephants in the Sahara desert.
The device is charged from the kinetic energy generated when the Latvian champ hits a forehand shot, and is rumored to have a ringer louder than a Rajasthani wedding DJ. Ostapenko, rather amused by the blooper, is taking the odd transformation in stride, hilariously dubbing her racquet the Latvian Lighthouse.
Game, Set, Tracker?
The sudden development has sparked debates across sports forums worldwide. Local sports bar patron, One Pitcher Prasad, compared Ostapenko’s predicament to his own struggle to find his parked bike after a match night. Besides giggles and memes flooding social media, the GPS racket seems to have sparked a peculiar trend among amateur tennis players—‘GeoTag the Serve’.
“We’ve Been Losing Things Too!” – Local Uncle
Dr. Birbal Brijwasi, a self-proclaimed “sports psychologist” and local Uncle at the neighborhood park, voiced his support for Ostapenko’s predicament. “Oye, doesn’t everyone lose track of things? I lost my chappal yesterday in the park, does that mean I have to wear GPS tagged footwear from now on?” he ranted, while playing chess with a pigeon, which he claimed to be Sun Tzu reincarnated.
