Invasion of bees unable to take the sting out of Alcaraz at Indian Wells

CARLOS ALCARAZ and Jannik Sinner will face off in the Indian Wells semi-finals today after dominant wins and an unlikely delay.

Alcaraz, the number two ranked player in the world, beat sixth-seeded German Alexander Zverev in straight sets 6-3 6-1 despite a swarm of bees on the court.

The bees caused a two-hour delay with Alcaraz seen swatting them away before running for cover just 19 minutes into the match.
