Coco Gauff and Karolina Muchova were clashing in a tasty US Open semifinal when their match was interrupted by the senseless action of some activists. One of them had the “brilliant” idea to glue his bare feet to the pavement and therefore the encounter had to be interrupted for 50 minutes.
The situation was extremely difficult for the players, the tournament organisation and the fans were not pleased at all. This is what happened in the meantime with Coco trying to be focused and warm.
