WATCH: Iguana stops tennis match at Miami Open
An iguana, later named Iggy, wanted to join the fun at the Miami Open Wednesday, but instead brought a match to a halt.
Iggy perched itself on the scoreboard during a match between Tommy Haas and Jiri Vesley, according to Sports Illustrated.

Maybe the iguana just wanted a better view of the game?

Either way, Iggy wasn’t happy when officials tried to remove it from the court.
Iguana be like you!

The Iguana thought his new selfie friend, Haas, would let it stay and watch. But, instead, Haas quickly jumped out of the way.

Eventually officials got the iguana off the court, but Iggy might have won this match.
The iguana has completely stolen the show at the Miami Open. Who needs Murray and Djokovic!
