Stacey Allaster, United States Tennis Association (USTA) Chief Executive Professional Tennis, told ESPN the disturbance involved three climate protesters. "Three of the four protesters were escorted out of the stadium without further incident," said the USTA statement. As players looked into the stands, security flooded into the section around where protesters were shouting. 'Just Stop Oil' protesters interrupted play at Wimbledon in July, releasing orange ticker-tape mixed with jigsaw puzzle pieces during matches.

CNN —Thursday’s US Open women’s semifinal between Coco Gauff and Karolina Muchova was halted in the second set after what appeared to be protesters in the crowd disrupted play in New York. Charles Krupa/APGauff and Muchova had left the court during the pause, then returned and play eventually resumed after more than a 45-minute delay. Four protesters were involved, and three of them “were escorted out of the stadium without further incident,” according to a statement from the US Tennis Association on Thursday night. USTA executive Stacey Allaster told the ESPN broadcast: “There’s no doubt in a 24,000-seat stadium, hopefully, people don’t get ideas. Certainly, security will be resuming – along with NYPD – to see what we can do to prevent it in the future.”
