MIAMI (AFP) - It is not only tropical storms that can halt play at Florida sports events - sometimes the local wildlife forces the action to stop as Tommy Haas discovered.
The 38-year-old’s Miami Open match with Jiri Vesely was delicately poised at 3-3 in the third set on Wednesday when a large iguana appeared on top of the scoreboard to catch some of the action.
While officials pondered whether to continue with the lizard family member enjoying the view, Haas, in his final year on the tour, decided to take a selfie with the creature.
"Maybe the iguana got the note that this is most likely the last time I’m playing here, and he wanted to say ‘Hi’ and take a peek or something," said Haas.
