Casper Ruud vs Marin Cilic French Open Semi-Final Interrupted As Protester Ties Herself To Net
The French Open semi-final between Casper Ruud and Marin Cilic was held up for 13 minutes on Friday when a protestor ran onto the court and tied herself to the net. The woman leapt from the Court Philippe Chatrier crowd during the sixth game of the third set. She wore a shirt which bore the slogan: "We have 1028 days left." She was eventually removed from the court while the players headed back to the locker room. The match later resumed, Ruud running out a 3-6, 6-4, 6-2, 6-2 winner to become the first Norwegian man to reach a Grand Slam final where he will meet 13-time champion Rafael Nadal.
