Melbourne: A protester jumps to court and interrupts playing at an important stage of the Australian Open-Open Single Final between the Russian world number two Danil Medvedev and Rafael Nadal in Spain in Melbourne Park on Sunday.
Security officials immediately made human shields around the players because some others dragged the person, which seemed to carry banners to read “eliminate the detention of refugees”, outside the court at the Rod Laver Arena.
Nadal tried to save the breakpoint while serving at 5-3 in the second set when the person fell awkward from the stand behind the Edge of Medvedev, stopping the game for a few minutes.
