At Roland Garros,
Small moment of hesitation at Roland-Garros, this Friday evening, during the semi-final between Marin Cilic and Casper Ruud.
While the score was 4-1 in the 3rd set in favor of the Norwegian, a woman burst onto the Philippe-Chatrier court.
The young woman, obviously committed to the climate, was dressed in a T-shirt on which we could read “We have 1028 days left” (“We have 1028 days left” in VF).
She attached herself to the net, causing the two players to be sent back to the locker room while the situation was resolved.
❌ The game has been interrupted!
🎾 The arrival of a protester on the court, who hung on the net, forced the referee to bring the players into the locker room.

She was evacuated a few minutes later and the match was able to resume after a brief warm-up by the two players.
Ruud and Cilic are in contention to join Rafael Nadal in the final of the tournament.
The Spaniard qualified earlier in the day after Zverev retired to injury.
