It was an anecdote, but it could have ended much worse. In the middle of the duel between Daniil Medvedev and Fran Cerúndolo, with victory for the Argentine (6-0, 4-6, 7-5), the cables that move the 'spider cam' on the central court of the Miami Open 2026 got tangled on the chair of the umpire, who in this case was the veteran Mohamed Lahyani. The cables kept tightening and due to the force they carried, they began to make the platform structure wobble, which forced Lahyani to quickly get down and later request production that the 'spider cam' not pass so close to him or the players.

During his third-round match at the Mutua Madrid Open, cameras and microphones captured an interesting moment between Alexander Bublik and Mohamed Lahyani. In a match where he was clearly defeated by Jakub Mensik, the Kazakh player made a comment that sparked laughter from fans on social media. "Mohamed, do you remember how easy it was to play tennis five years ago? There were a bunch of random guys in the Top 50 who could barely move. Now, this guy (Mensik) isn't even in the Top 10. What the **** is this?!" Bublik commented.

Incomprehensible and dramatic. That's the only way to define what happened in the third point of the third game of the third set. It sounds like a tongue twister, but it isn't. Carlos played a drop shot after a great rally, and Draper arrived just in time, so much so that Lahyani thought the ball had bounced twice, leading to him stopping the point. The play was reviewed, and the chair umpire made a mistake, but they also checked when the point was stopped, whether it was before Carlos attempted to hit the subsequent ball or after. Something went wrong in the review because the point was awarded to Draper despite the chair umpire's call being clearly made before the Murcian's shot, influencing the outcome.

Daniil Medvedev continues to turn his matches into a real rollercoaster. This time, during the round of 16 duel at the ATP Shanghai 2025 against Learner Tien, the Russian received a code violation for not being ready on time to return his opponent's serve. After losing the second set, Daniil briefly clashed with Mohamed Lahyani... and mentioned Rafael Nadal as an example of what, according to him, isn't right. "Throughout my life, I've played against Nadal and I waited 55 seconds for him to be ready to return. He never received a single violation. Today, at the first instance, you give it to me. I always waited for him to be ready to serve, and you never gave it. You are completely crazy." Another one from Crazy Daniil.

An amusing scene took place in the first round of the 2025 Miami Open with a newcomer in this category of tournaments, the American Elliot Spizzirri, who didn't hesitate to ask Mohamed Lahyani a question at the start of the match. "Sir, I have a question. Are there microphones on the fence? I noticed and thought, oh my god. I'm not used to this," he said after Lahyani confirmed that there were indeed microphones picking up everything happening on the court. He ended up defeating Harris 7-6 (2) 3-6 6-2 and will face Korda in the second round.

Alexander Zverev lived a real rollercoaster of a match against Griekspoor in the 2024 ATP Shanghai. The emotions also heated up with some decisions made by Mohamed Lahyani, who was in the chair today. After the controversies with Wawrinka and Tiafoe, Sascha was certainly prepared to fight for any decision... and that's exactly what he did, claiming that the referee was wrong in a point where a double bounce was signaled. Even though the replay showed that Lahyani's decision had been correct, the German didn't stay silent and decided to make some statements that are... interesting, to say the least.

"Why bother playing 89 matches this year... it's not possible, not possible. Every Grand Slam final I lose is your fault, because of your mistakes. I'm here, working like an animal, but you make a multitude of mistakes. You decide the matches, you decide the outcome of tournaments every week. Why do I do this? For what reason?" An impressive complaint from Sascha who did, indeed, close the match.
