Controversies

Spray incident at the Challenger de Santiago In March 2026, during a Challenger tournament in Santiago, Chile, Collarini was involved in a viral incident after being seen spraying an aerosol on a tennis ball before serving. The moment, captured on video, quickly spread across social media and generated speculation among fans and commentators regarding a potential breach of tennis regulations.

The episode sparked debate on online platforms such as Reddit, where users questioned whether altering a ball could constitute a violation of the rules. According to tennis regulations, deliberately modifying a ball's condition—such as its weight or surface—is prohibited and could lead to penalties if done during official competition.

It was later confirmed that the incident was an advertising stunt. According to Infobae, the scene was part of a launch campaign for Dove Men+Care All Body Deo.

The incident is noted as an example of how ambiguous actions in sports can generate widespread discussion and viral attention.
