- Stefanos Tsitsipas and Diego Schwartzman match interrupted
- Spectator invades court wearing ‘End UK Private Jets’ shirt
A protester set fire to his arm during a dramatic incident which left Stefanos Tsitsipas stunned and disrupted the opening session of this year’s Laver Cup.
The protest occurred during the second match of the Ryder Cup-style team competition at the O2 Arena in London, where Team Europe’s Tsitsipas and Diego Schwartzman of Team World were doing battle in a singles tie. After Tsitsipas had won the first set 6-2, the spectator ran on to the court during the changeover and set his arm ablaze before security staff were able to put the fire out with the protester ushered away.
