A surprise guest scurried across one of ESPN’s Wimbledon cameras on Wednesday during one of the matches.
During Shintaro Mochizuki and Tommy Paul’s second-round Wimbledon duel, a spider came from out of nowhere and crawled across the ESPN camera.
If you have arachnophobia, it’d be an shocking blast of horror hitting your television screen on what is supposed to be a calm day of tennis coverage.
If you aren’t that bothered by bugs, this was just a funny blip on the radar that the ESPN announcers couldn’t help but joke about to the viewers at home.
At least when you watch this clip, you’ll know what’s coming?

Well, the itsy bitsy spider in question didn’t want too much air time, as it crawled out of frame second after popping up on camera.
It’s not everyday that a bug gets into frame during a tennis match. However, maybe this spider will pick up a tennis racket next time and compete?
