With a lineup featuring some of the top players in the world, the Miami Open has attracted fans of all ages, genders, and apparently, species.

During a first round match between Tommy Haas and Jiri Vesely, a particularly interested iguana got a little too close to the action, causing a stoppage in play.

You have to respect the iguana — this was his only chance to watch some top-level tennis in Miami. Tommy Haas even stopped to take a selfie.

Though valiant, the fact that the iguana was eventually wrangled places it a close second in our sports-iguana video power rankings.
