At the WTA tennis tournament in Guadalajara, Mexico, a swarm of bees caused the first-round game between Petra Kvitová (Czech Republic) and Bernarda Pera (USA) to be postponed.

The organizer published pictures on social networks showing countless bees on the canopy of the referee’s high chair.

Only after an exterminator had removed the swarm could the match start with a delay of around 90 minutes. She has never experienced anything like this, said 32-year-old Kvitova after her victory (6: 3, 7: 5): “And I’ve been on the tour for 20 years”.
