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.
A NEAR TRAGEDY ALMOST HAPPENED 😳
