Iguanas are an invasive species in South Florida, and one iguana took that label a bit too literally Wednesday when it invaded a Miami Open match between Tommy Haas and Jiri Vesely.

The iguana halted play after it perched menacingly on the scoreboard. I don't know why, but I assumed tournament organizers would have some sort of plan in case of invasion by reptile, but everyone mostly just stood around dumbfounded.

Tommy Haas took a selfie and was reprimanded by an ATP official for having his phone out during a match.

Finally, someone tried to grab the iguana, but it escaped and started running around the court, heading straight for the umpire's chair like the iguana version of John McEnroe.
