Three people, wearing T-shirts bearing the words \u2018end fossil fuels\u2019 began shouting after the first game of the second set, forcing play to be stopped.\u00a0 American teenager Gauff and Czech 10th seed Muchova initially stayed on the court for about 10 minutes while security tried to deal with the situation.<\/p>\n

The Arthur Ashe crowd at one point began chanting \u201ckick them out\u201d with the protesters apparently being difficult to shift.\u00a0 It later transpired that while two of the protesters had been removed, a third had somehow glued his bare feet to the concrete.<\/p>\n

\u201cAre they like talking to them or are they going to remove them?\u201d Gauff asked chair umpire Alison Hughes and tournament referee Jake Garner.\u00a0 She then spoke to her coach, Brad Gilbert, saying \u201cthey say they are negotiating, like it\u2019s a hostage situation. What should I do?\u201d<\/p>\n

Both players eventually left the court with Gauff leading 6-4 1-0. They returned at 8.50pm and, after a warm-up, play resumed 50 minutes after the last point.\u00a0 It is not the first time a major tennis tournament has been disrupted by protesters.<\/p>\n

At Wimbledon this year Just Stop Oil activists caused two matches, one involving Britain\u2019s Katie Boulter, to be suspended after running onto the court throwing jigsaw pieces and confetti.\u00a0 Last year\u2019s French Open semi-final between Casper Ruud and Marin Cilic also had to be temporarily halted after a woman tied herself to the net.<\/p>\n
