The teenager beat Karolina Muchova 6-4 7-5 with the match interrupted when protester glued his feet to the floor.
Coco Gauff is through to her first US Open final, but only after her last-four match against Karolina Muchova was suspended for more than 45 minutes when a protester glued his feet to the floor in the stands.
It soon became apparent that while three of the protesters had been removed, a fourth had glued his bare feet to the concrete. “There were three. Two were removed. They quietly left. When security got there they found one of the protesters had physically glued himself, his bare feet, to the cement floor.”A statement from the USTA read: “Following the first game of the second set in the Gauff-Muchova match, play was halted due to a protest conducted by four spectators.
“The four protesters were taken into NYPD custody. In total, 49 minutes elapsed before play resumed.”At Wimbledon this year Just Stop Oil activists caused two matches, one involving Britain’s Katie Boulter, to be suspended after running onto the court throwing jigsaw pieces and confetti. But the 19-year-old converted at the sixth attempt when Muchova went long to reach her second grand slam final.
