Tennis fans witnessed drastic changes in the Madrid Open trophy after the Masters 1000 tournament concluded with Ons Jabeur and Carlos Alcaraz reigning supreme at the clay-court event. The 2022 Madrid trophy reminded fans of a vagina and netizens further also noted that the previous trophy resembled a penis, with one user joking that it had `switched gender`.
“They went from danger dildo straight to vulva. no one does it like madrid, truly,” one user on Twitter wrote after the trophy was unveiled while other added: “What in the cunnilingus is this trophy?” One tennis fan was so upset with a new design that they wrote: “Nooooo I want the spiky d**** back.”
“Is it just me or does the new Mutua Madrid Open Trophy look like a Vagina?” one fan tweeted after Ons Jabeur lifted her first WTA 1000 trophy, while another said: “The Madrid vagina trophy … it`s too much.”
The Madrid earlier had a Roland Iten-designed statuette that was introduced in 2011 for the tournament`s 10th anniversary. The 430 mm high-trophy was modelled around a staircase that Iten came across at a winery in the Spanish countryside. The trophy itself weighs 7.5 kilograms – 6.5 of which are pure gold and has 96 individual, hand-finished components including 32 racquet-shaped stairs with names of tennis legends inscribed around them and 33 diamonds (10.9 carats).
The newly-designed Arete sculpture trophy, which according to tennis fans resembled a `vagina`, is created by artist David Rodriguez Caballero, especially for the champion of the 20th edition in Madrid. In the men`s singles final on Sunday, Carlos Alcaraz beat defending champion Alexander Zverev 6-3 6-1 to win his maiden Madrid Open title.
This was the first win for the 19-year-old Spaniard over Alexander Zverev in three attempts, and he has now won 10 consecutive matches. While in the women`s singles final, Ons Jabeur of Tunisia clinched the Madrid Open title with a thrilling win over Jessica Pegula on Saturday, to become the first Arab player to win a WTA Masters 1000 event. Ons Jabeur overcame the American 7-5, 0-6, 6-2 in just under two hours.
