Carlos Alcaraz faced an invading bee during his Queen’s Club Championships second-round matchup with Jack Draper. Shattering the bee away, the Spaniard eventually managed to get rid of it.
The Spaniard, who is now concentrating on his grass campaign, fell 6-7, 3-6 to Jack Draper in the Queen’s Club Championships second-round match.
But Alcaraz faced more opponents than only Draper; during the fight, a bee crossed his path and caused him to lose concentration. The 21-year-old was seen smashing the bee away in a video, seeming irritated by the unexpected disruption. Commentators thought the contest had been halted by a wasp.
After a while, Alcaraz succeeded in catching the bee and hurling it off the court in what pundits jokingly called a “grasscourt victory.”
