NEW YORK (AP) — The U.S. Open semifinal between Coco Gauff and Karolina Muchova was delayed early in the second set because of a disruption by environmental activists in the Arthur Ashe Stadium stands on Thursday night.
Gauff was ahead 6-4, 1-0 when play was halted for at least 40 minutes.
Tournament referee Jake Garner came out onto the court, while security headed toward where the protesters were. They were wearing shirts that read, “End Fossil Fuels.” At least one person glued their feet to the ground, making it harder to be removed, a spokesman for the U.S. Tennis Association said.
At least two protesters were taken away. Later, more than a half-dozen police officers arrived — greeted by cheers from fans near the section where the disruption happened. Spectators were asked to move away to clear a path for the police.

·Hope he didn’t use super glue which is made out of a polymer which is—long carbon chains like…..oil.
A chainsaw will solve that problem.
End ecofreaks. For good!
Glued his feet to ground, cut them off
The 2023 US WOKE OPEN………
I hope they do it during the inevitable Alcarez V Djokovic finale. the outrage from fans and players will be loud.
Gauff wins 6-4, 7-5.
Or just forcibly move “it” to the gate. But then they would have to scrape the skin off of the floor.
If I was the guy behind him, he would have got a good beer shampoo.

Let the guy who glued his feet to the floor just stay there.
When the urgency to go to the bathroom gets strong enough, he will have to say goodbye to a couple layers of skin before he can get to a toilet.
Wonder if they took a limo or a buss to the open?.
All financed by evil Soros and that crazy Getty heiress. Isn’t financing terrorist organizations illegal?
