KEY BISCAYNE, Fla. — On Friday at the Miami Open, 50 fans scored some free tacos courtesy of Sergiy Stakhovsky.  The Ukrainian has been making some Twitter headlines lately after getting in a feud with Andy Murray over the equal prize money debate.

The two players exchanged a few verbal jabs at each other, a rarity on a forum as public as Twitter.

Dusan Lajovic put in his own two cents by saying he’d rather watch Serena Williams eat tacos than watch Stakhovsky play tennis.

That’s when Stakhovsky decided to turn the tables with a show of generosity at theMiami Open.

Spectators took full advantage, with all 50 orders spoken for—who doesn’t love freefood? But the point of the taco spectacle is a bit lost in translation. Was Stakhovskymaking a jab at Lajovic, Williams, Murray or women’s tennis? Or was this all just ingood humor? Or perhaps a peace gesture?
