US EditionProtest stops play during U.S. Open semi-final match between Gauff, Muchová
- Climate activists interrupted the U.S. Open women's semi-final match between Coco Gauff and Karolina Muchova with a protest against fossil fuels. The protesters wore shirts that said "End Fossil Fuels" and caused disruption in the stands, leading to a delay in the match.
- The protest was carried out by activists from the Extinction Rebellion group, who have targeted various sporting events in recent months. The protesters took more than 35 minutes to be removed, resulting in a suspension of play for almost an hour.
- Similar interruptions have occurred at Wimbledon, The British Open, The Ashes, and the World Snooker Championship, with some sports stars expressing their unease with these tactics. Despite the controversy, the activists remain defiant in their efforts to address the climate crisis.
