Zverev Alcaraz delayed due to bees. Large swarms


And Fritz losing was a surprise to me. He pretty well dominated the first

A bee invasion has halted play in the Alcaraz vs Zverev match. That's all I got.

Alcaraz still escaped from bees but was bitten on his forehead: "I was totally surrounded"

This happens in NYC enough to know that a swarm like this usually means a queen is setting up a new hive. It takes experts to remove them safely.

Gauff almost alternating double faults (16!) and aces now. One of the announcers we're seeing here referred to the "psychodrama" going on in her head now.
