Carlos AlcarazandAlexander Zverev’s quarterfinal match at the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells, Calif. on Thursday had everyone buzzing!
A swarm of bees descended onto the court at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden during the first set as the players were tied 1-1.
As the bees kept getting closer to Alcaraz, an announcer said, “What’s happening here?” After the umpire announced that the match “could not continue,” everyone began walking off the court.
Another video on Xfrom the ATP Tour showed the umpire later announcing that the match had been suspended due to a “bee invasion.”
According toThe Desert Sun, the crowd was not asked to leave the stadium, with only two sections in the upper deck being asked to move.
The outlet reported that a beekeeper arrived almost an hour after the announcement to help get bees off a camera.
Six-time Grand Slam championBoris Beckerreacted to the scene onX, referring to it as “unbelievable” and expressing that he’s “never seen anything like it in my 39 years of tennis.”
