Environmental protesters interrupted Coco Gauff and Karolina Muchova’s US Open semifinal on Thursday.
With Gauff main 6-4, 1-0, three protesters within the higher part of Arthur Ashe Stadium precipitated a raucous. After two had been eliminated, one glued his naked toes to the bottom and it took authorities almost an hour to clear the area, whereas gamers had been ushered off courtroom.
He has glued his toes to the bottom. He’s sporting a t-shirt saying “Finish Fossil Fuels”. Now counted 8 NYPD officers on the scene. #USOpen pic.twitter.com/0czrDUBIna
