The match between
Carlos Alcaraz
and
Alexander Zverev in the
Indian Wells
quarterfinals
had to be stopped this Thursday when only 9 minutes into the game due to the
massive appearance of bees on the court.
With the score at 1-1, the chair umpire ordered the game to stop because
the bees made it impossible to play
and were even
attacking Alcaraz,
who had to run into the locker room to avoid being stung.
"The game has been stopped due to a 'bee invasion,'" the chair umpire, who also suffered some bee attacks, said jokingly.
The images showed that
one of the cameras
high on the track was what was attracting the bees.
