MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — A protester threw papers onto an Australian Open court and briefly delayed the fourth-round match between Olympic champion Alexander Zverev and Cameron Norrie of Britain on Monday.
Printed in black on the white pages was the message “Free Palestine” and "While you're watching tennis bombs are dropping on Gaza."
Ball kids gathered up the papers and the match continued after a short delay.
Zverev won the match 7-5, 3-6, 6-3, 4-6, 7-6 (3) to advance to a quarterfinal against No.
