French Open semi-final halted as protester ties herself to net

The French Open semi-final between Casper Ruud and Marin Cilic was held up Friday when a protestor ran onto the court and tied herself to the net.

Text size:

The woman leapt from the Court Philippe Chatrier crowd during the sixth game of the third set.

Her shirt bore the slogan: "We have 1028 days left."

She was eventually removed from the court while the players headed back to the locker room.
