Airline sends Alexander Zverev's bags from Rome to the Maldives instead of Buenos Aires

The world No. 2's first trip to compete at Argentina's ATP 250 event started off with an unplanned detour ... for his stuff.

Alexander Zverev's first trip to Buenos Aires got off on the wrong foot. The German revealed in a post to his Instagram account Sunday that although he arrived in Argentina safely on a flight from Rome, his bags didn't.

Instead, they ended up more than 8,500 miles away in the Maldives.

"Could anyone explain to me how on earth it is possible for me to fly from Rome to Buenos Aires but my bags instead of coming with me being sent to the Maldives?" Zverev wrote on his story

But Zverev kept a sense of humor about his plight: He then proceeded to joke that his bags might already need a vacation, a humorous follow to his post-match comments after losing a one-sided Australian Open final to Jannik Sinner.

Zverev has been chronicled on the tournament's official social media channels practicing at the Buenos Aires Lawn Tennis Club, making it unclear just what belongings ended up in South Asia.

But luckily for the world No. 2, he won't hit the ground running in Buenos Aires until Wednesday as a result of a first-round bye. The 2024 Roland Garros finalist will play Dusan Lajovic in his first clay-court match of the season, at tournament that also features Holger Rune, Lorenzo Musetti, and local hope Joao Fonseca.
