ESPN’s broadcast of the 2023 Wimbledon tournament featured an unexpected guest on Wednesday. During the first-round clash between Japan’s Shintaro Mochizuki and Tommy Paul of the United States, a spider could be seen making its way across the lens of one of the network’s cameras.
The eight-legged creature didn’t go unnoticed by the match’s commentary team. After Paul took a 5-3 lead in the first set, the broadcast team indicated the spider must be fond of his performance.
“Spidey liked that one,” joked one commentator.
