Climate change protestors disrupt Coco Gauff, Karolina Muchova US Open semifinal NEW YORK—A lengthy climate change protest disrupted the 2023 US Open semifinal between Coco Gauff and Karolina Muchova at 6-4, 1-0 on Thursday evening. Gauff, the No. 6 seed, had just taken the first set from No. 10-seeded Muchova and won the first game of the second when three people in the upper deck of Arthur Ashe Stadium stood up and interrupted play. The delay began at 8:05 EDT. One protester superglued his feet to the ground. The US Open released a statement following the conclusion of the incident: "Following the first game of the second set in the Gauff-Muchova match, play was halted due to a fan-related incident. The fan in question affixed himself to the floor and due to the nature of this action, medical professionals, NYPD and security personnel were needed in order to resolve the issue and remove the fan from the stands."
