Animals are definitely popular in American tennis tournaments. After the bees, which interrupted the Alcaraz-Zverev semi-final in Indian Wells for two hours on March 14, a cat appeared on the court Tuesday, in Miami, during the first round between Venus Williams and Diana Shnaider.
“We are going to replay the point, there is a cat crossing the court,” announced the chair umpire to interrupt the American, who had not seen the animal pass behind her back. Under the hilarious gaze of the spectators, the animal finally disappeared, and the game was able to resume. The Russian won in two sets, 6-3, 6-3.
