A bee is about to be picked up off Centre Court before play resumes between Germany's Alexander Zverev and Spain's Carlos Alcaraz in their ATP-WTA Indian Wells Masters men's quarterfinal tennis match at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden in Indian Wells, California, on March 14, 2024. Defending champion Carlos Alcaraz's quarter-final clash with Alexander Zverev at Indian Wells was halted abruptly as swarming bees drove the players from Stadium Court on Thursday. World number two Alcaraz was stung and forced into retreat by the insects -- swatting them away in alarm with his racquet and hands before seeking shelter.,Image: 856946219, License: Rights-managed, Restrictions: , Model Release: no, Credit line: Frederic J.
