After qualifying for the semifinals of the Indian Wells Masters 1000, beating Cameron Norrie without any particular difficulty (6-3, 6-4 the partials of the two sets, closed in one hour and thirty-four minutes), Carlos Alcaraz produced a singular siparietto with a group of fans, going so far as to wear a bee costume. No provocation against rivals, however: as the Murcian himself explained in the press conference, it was a reference to what happened, also in Indian Wells, in the 2024 edition.

During the quarterfinal two years ago against Alexander Zverev, in fact, a swarm of bees invaded the court, forcing the German and Alcaraz himself to stop and wait for a beekeeper to intervene so that he could clear the area of the swarm and resume play. Thus, on the Italian night between Thursday and Friday, a small group of supporters wearing a bee costume caught the attention of the world number 1 ranking player, inviting him to join them in the friendly choreography.

“It was a lot of fun. They helped me so much, I would look at them and smile while playing. I always say that when I have fun on the court I can bring out good tennis – said Alcaraz, referring to the ‘swarm’ human -. Today they brought me a bee costume and started telling me to put it on: I did it for them, on the other hand they supported me from the first to the last point. So at the end of the game, I said to myself, ‘I’ll do it’. It was fun”.
