Chaos as climate protesters disrupt Coco Gauff semifinal at US Open, glueing feet to floor

Chaotic scenes unfolded as climate protesters interrupted Coco Gauff’s US Open semifinal against Karolina Muchova with at least one person glueing their feet to the floor in the Arthur Ashe Stadium stands.

Gauff was ahead 6-4, 1-0 when play was halted for at least 40 minutes as security tried to remove the protesters.

The group were wearing shirts that read, “End Fossil Fuels” and at least one person glued their feet making their removal difficult, a spokesperson for the U.S. Tennis Association told The Associated Press.
