Laver Cup protester sets court, arm on fire, delays play ahead of Roger Federer’s final match - KPRC2 rogerfederer
The episode briefly delayed the action at the start of the second set of Stefanos Tsitsipas' 6-2, 6-1 victory for Team Europe over Diego Schwartzman of Team World at the O2 Arena.
“It came out of nowhere. ... I never had an incident like this happen on court,” Tsitsipas, the runner-up at the 2021 French Open, said afterward. “I hope he's all right.” The protester “has been arrested and the situation is being handled by the police,” Laver Cup organizers said in a statement. The 41-year-old Federer hasn't played an official match since Wimbledon in July 2021 and is ending his playing career after a series of operations on his right knee.
