ATP surprises its fans with a rather original initiative: Taylor Fritz, Alex de Minaur, and Lorenzo Musetti have their official portraits replaced by puppets. A mysterious decision that is already buzzing on Reddit and social media.

Puppets bearing the likeness of ATP Tour players? As improbable as it may seem, the men's tour website decided this Monday to change the portraits of Taylor Fritz, Alex de Minaur, and Lorenzo Musetti, all replaced by puppets.

It was users on the tennis forum of Reddit who spotted these rather original portraits.

No information has leaked on the subject so far, but ATP continues to tease fans on social media, having published a short video of a photoshoot with Fritz's puppet (see post below).

Fritz Taylor

6e, 4135 points

De Minaur Alex

7e, 4135 points

Musetti Lorenzo

8e, 4040 points

From January, all players will be replaced by the puppets with the view that there will be 100% attendance at all events.

The finals are here, and we scramble for the best finish. I've been chasing "King" all year and I was able to shrink the spread a little. Skelp is also closing the gap.

Seasons best to all the regulars in our league.

Will you all be back in the new year.?

Steffi Graf completed a Golden Slam (not just a career Grand Slam) when she was 19. She is the only person to accomplish that, winning the four majors plus Olympic gold the same calendar year.
