The stoppage, during a match between Coco Gauff and Karolina Muchova, dragged on because at least one protester had glued his feet to the ground.
NEW YORK — A protest led by a group of environmental activists halted the U.S. Open semifinal between Coco Gauff and Karolina Muchova on Thursday night for nearly an hour.
Activists wearing shirts that read “end fossil fuels” began chanting after Gauff won the first game of the second set, prompting a pause in play as tournament officials attempted to remove them from the upper bowl of Arthur Ashe Stadium. The stoppage went on for more than 45 minutes as at least one protester had glued his feet to the ground and refused to leave before more than 10 police officers arrived to lead him out of the stadium in handcuffs.“There were three.
Allaster said tournament security would be consulting with the New York Police Department to ensure there are no further security disruptions. Gauff and Muchova retreated to the locker room during the stoppage, with Gauff leading 6-4, 1-0 at the time of the stoppage. Gauff chatted with her team while Muchova appeared to receive a massage and treatment.
