Paris (AP) – An incident occurred in Paris during the second semi-final of the French Open between Croatian tennis pro Marin Cilic and Casper Ruud from Norway.
At the score of 3: 6, 6: 4, 4: 1 and 15:15 from Ruud’s point of view, a climate activist ran onto the pitch and chained herself to the net. The woman wore a t-shirt that read “We have 1028 days left.”
Cilic and Ruud were taken to the cabins for safety. The activist was freed from the network a little later and led from the square. The game could then be continued on the Philippe Chatrier court in the Stade Roland Garros.
