Climate Activists Disrupt US Open Women’s Semi-Final, Secure Shoes to Ground
Climate activists have interrupted the women’s semi-final at the US Open.
The protesters were wearing shirts that said End Fossil Fuels – and began causing disruption from the stands at the start of the second set.
At least one demonstrator had glued their shoes to the ground, making them harder to remove.

They appeared to be from the Extinction Rebellion group – and fans began to cheer as police officers arrived to take them away.
The protest – one of many to target sporting events in recent months – delayed the showdown between Coco Gauff and Karolina Muchova at the Arthur Ashe Stadium in New York.
