INDIAN WELLS – Carlos Alcaraz said that he surprised himself by staying focused despite being stung on the forehead, after the Spaniard’s Indian Wells quarter-final clash against Germany’s Alexander Zverev on March 14 was interrupted by a swarm of bees.

The world No. 2 was serving in the third game of the match when the bees descended upon him. The 20-year-old tried swatting them away with his racket but eventually ran for cover after being stung.
