Top 3 funniest moments of the 2024 tennis season!
Since the start of the tennis season, there have been several incidents that don’t fail to bring a smile whenever one recalls them.
Whether it’s Novak Djokovic wearing a helmet to save his head from spectators’ bottles or Tomas Machac‘s “Don’t you love me?” question to the crowd in Shanghai when they were cheering mostly for Jannik Sinner, such incidents lighten the mood during tense moments and make tennis more interesting.

Carlos Alcaraz saves himself from bee sting
Carlos Alcaraz played the ‘most unusual match’ in his career at the Indian Wells. During his quarterfinal match against Alexander Zverev, a swarm of bees invaded the court and it was impossible for Alcaraz to stay away from them as he ran wherever he could.
The bees it seemed loved the spidercam. Thanks to the tournament’s beekeeper, the bees were put into a cage. Alcaraz won that match and eventually the tournament.
Corentin Moutet was in rage upon being denied coffee!
Corentin Moutet made a bizarre request to the chair umpire when he was up against Shan Juncheng in the first round of the Madrid Open. During a break, the Frenchman asked the chair umpire to arrange for coffee but he was denied! He then flew into a rage and argued with the umpire but the latter was adamant.
Moutet in turn remarked, “Am I asking for caviar?” The crowd inside Court 4 enjoyed the scene and laughed when a spectator handed Moutet coffee. Moutet lost that match 6-7, 6-2, 7-6.
