Cow crashes UTR Pro Match Series tournament

The men's UTR Pro Match Series wrapped on Saturday with Reilly Opelka crowned the champion, and a local cow picking up some nominal fame. At the private court in West Palm Beach, Fla., a cow was spotted nearby taking in all the action.

Tennis Channel host Brett Haber was loving it, and his name suggestion was quite clever "Alex De Manure." Other top name suggestions included Moo-ga-Rutha, Reilly O-Milk-A and Mooria Sharapova.

The two-day tournament went off without a hitch as Opelka competed in round-robin fast matches with Hubert Hurkacz, Tommy Paul and Miomir Kecmanovic. Opelka beat Kecmanovic in the final, while Hurkacz topped Paul for third place.

As one of the first live tennis matches aired since the COVID-19 shutdown, a lot of new health practices were introduced including temperature checks, masks for staff and the rigorous cleaning of the court.

The "racquet tap" got a lot of attention for replacing the handshake.

Live tennis was finally front and center as the men competed hard, and even showed some flair. Hurkacz pulled off a brilliant tweener winner and couldn't help celebrating, despite there being no fans.

UTR will host a women's two-day tournament starting on May 22 and featuring Amanda Anisimova, Alison Riske, Ajla Tomljanovic and Danielle Collins.
