Environmental protesters interrupted Coco Gauff and Karolina Muchova’s US Open semifinal on Thursday.

With Gauff leading 6-4, 1-0, three protesters in the upper section of Arthur Ashe Stadium caused a raucous. After two were removed, one glued his bare feet to the ground and it took authorities nearly an hour to clear the space, while players were ushered off court.
Play finally resumed fifty minutes after the delay commenced.
