Pedro Cachin rushes mid-match to get water for unwell audience member

Argentine tennis player Pedro Cachin, in a classy move, rushed to help an ailing fan mid-match as he headed towards his seating area and grabbed his own water bottle for the audience member at the 2023 Estoril Open.

Cachin's Round of 16 match against compatriot Sebastian Baez was underway at the Estoril Open on Wednesday, when during the second set there was commotion in the stands. Upon inspection, it was found that one of the spectators had started feeling unwell.

The Argentine prioritized the fan's health and upon learning what was going on, ran towards his kit, grabbed a bottle of water and ran back towards the stands. He then quickly swung the bottle towards another spectator who caught the bottle and handed it over to another gentleman, who then ran up the stairs to get the water to the ailing audience member.

Estoril Open's official Twitter account shared a video of the incident, praising Cachin's quick thinking.

Although Cachin lost the match to Baez in straight sets, 6-4, 7-6(2), the World No. 67's act of kindness did not go unnoticed and was definitely the highlight of the match.

"Rare," one fan tweeted in praise of Cachin.

"Nice gesture from Pedro," tennis journalist Jose Morgado tweeted.

Argentina's Pedro Cachin turned pro in 2013. Although the 27-year-old is yet to win a title on tour, he is a talented player who is capable of making his mark, as evidenced by the No. 8 ranking he reached in the junior circuit.

Cachin, who is currently ranked No. 67 in the world, reached a career-high ranking of No. 54 in November last year.

2022 was Cachin's debut year at the Grand Slams. The 27-year-old's best result in a Grand Slam came at the US Open, where he reached the third round before falling to Corentin Moutet 6-3, 4-6, 6-2, 7-5. Following this stint, Cachin broke into the top 60 of the ATP rankings.

At the French Open last year, the Argentine reached the second round and was ousted by Hugo Gaston in straight sets 6-4, 6-2, 6-4. At this year's Australian Open, Cachin fell in the first round to Spain's Pablo Carreno Busta in a tight match 7-6(4), 6-1, 7-6(3).

Following his exit from Estoril, Pedro Cachin could be in action next at the Barcelona Open, which is scheduled to take place the week after the Monte-Carlo Masters. The Argentine is part of the line-up at the ATP 500 tournament, which is headlined by Carlos Alcaraz.
