The incident happened during the sixth game of the third set of the semi-final between Casper Ruud and Marin Cilic<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A female protester interrupted the French Open semi-final between Casper Ruud and Marin Cilic.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

In the third set, a woman walked on to Court Philippe Chatrier, knelt beside the net post, tied something around her neck and fastened it to the net.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The players were taken off the court while security dealt with the incident and led the woman from the court. <\/span><\/p>\n

“It was a bit scary honestly and I didn’t know what was going on,” said eventual winner Ruud.<\/span><\/p>\n

The match was delayed by 15 minutes before the players returned with the match level at one set all.<\/span><\/p>\n

The protester wore a T-shirt apparently in support of a group of climate change activists, who subsequently posted online to say she was acting on their behalf.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ruud went on <\/span>to win 3-6 6-4 6-2 6-2<\/span> to become the first Norwegian to reach a Grand Slam final but said the disruption had been “a bit awkward”.<\/span><\/p>\n

“It seemed she had tied herself and had something around her neck and they couldn’t get rid of her. I didn’t see the T-shirt and what she protested about,” said Ruud, who will play 13-time champion Rafael Nadal in Sunday’s final.<\/span><\/p>\n

“We left the court and got back and I was able to keep my focus so it was a bit challenging.”<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
