Alexander Zverev’s round of 16 at the Australian Open was briefly interrupted due to a spectator protest.
In the middle of the third set, a spectator in the Margaret Court Arena threw leaflets onto the tennis court. What kind of message the leaflets were about remained unclear at first.
Two other spectators dragged the person out of the arena as no stewards intervened. The game was able to continue after about a minute. When they returned to the stadium, the two spectators received loud applause from the other visitors.
