Skynet and the Terminator, that’s not it yet. Finally not with the robot that brings the balls to the Madrid Masters 2022.

The robot dog that brings balls to Madrid was out of shape.

The Madrid Masters often tries to innovate to keep the tournament entertained and visible. A few years ago, organizers tried ball collection dummies (too sexist), then blue clay (failure. Players didn’t like the surface, too slippery). In 2022, the experiment will focus on a robotic dog that brings balls to the court before matches.

Let’s be frank. Skyner and the Terminator, not yet, well, not a robot dog from Madrid who decided to take a nap in the middle of a field. There is no way to move it again, so two security people took care of it. It wasn’t the plan.
