Luca Berrettini, the dad of Australian Open<\/a> tennis star Matteo Berrettini, has been caught vaping in a violation of the tournament’s rules.<\/p>\n

The rule-breaking incident occurred during Holger Rune’s 7-6 2-6 6-3 7-6 victory over Italian star Berrettini on Thursday at John Cain Arena.<\/p>\n

Berrettini’s father, watching the match from one of the new courtside coaching pods at Melbourne Park, was spotted discreetly vaping.<\/p>\n

He was seen hiding the vaping device in his hand – taking quick puffs – as he watched his son lose in the second round to Danish 13th-seed Rune.<\/p>\n

Footage of Berrettini’s father vaping was uploaded to TikTok with a social media user writing ‘vape much’ as the caption.<\/p>\n

‘Smoking, including e-cigarettes and\/or vaping, is not permitted inside arenas within the Event Area or within 10 metres of the external doors and any food outlet,’ the The Melbourne & Olympic Parks website\u00a0reads.<\/p>\n

‘Should you wish to smoke or vape, please do so via the designated areas.’<\/p>\n

Berrettini’s father could be kicked out of the Australian Open because of his secret vaping.<\/p>\n

Australian Open rules state: ‘Any guest who breaches any of the Conditions of Entry may be evicted from the Event Area or event (and, where relevant, the M&OP Precinct).’<\/p>\n

Rune, meanwhile, is set to face Miomir Kecmanovic in the third round of the Australian Open after his four-set win over Berrettini.<\/p>\n

Rune’s mother went viral at the Shanghai Masters last year for giving her son an icy glare<\/a> during one of his matches.<\/p>\n

\u2018Holger Rune and his mum were not getting on,\u2019 presenter Bela Shah said when analysing the incident for Sky Sports News<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2018She is scary!\u2019 fellow Sky Sports presenter Pete Graves added. \u2018No offence.\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
