The teenager beat Karolina Muchova 6-4 7-5 with the match interrupted when protester glued his feet to the floor.
Coco Gauff had a premonition that climate change protesters would disrupt a match at the US Open.
The Arthur Ashe crowd at one point began chanting “kick them out” with the protesters apparently being difficult to shift despite being surrounded by around 12 police officers. Both players eventually left the court with Gauff leading 6-4 1-0. They returned at 8.50pm when the third protester had finally been removed, and after a warm-up, play resumed 50 minutes after the last point.
“Three of the four protesters were escorted out of the stadium without further incident. The fourth protester affixed their bare feet to the floor of the seating bowl.Thank you for your patience.“Due to the nature of this action, NYPD and medical personnel were needed in order to safely remove this individual from the stadium.
