A protestor ran onto the court and set his arm on fire in the middle of the 2022 Laver Cup in London on Friday. The man wore a white shirt with the words 'end UK private jets' written on it. He was quickly escorted off the court after the fire was put out by officials.
A protester invades the court, appearing to set his arm alight during the singles game between Greece's Stefanos Tsitsipas of Team Europe and Argentina's Diego Schwartzman of Team World at the 2022 Laver Cup at the O2 Arena in London on September 23, 2022. - RESTRICTED TO EDITORIAL USE / RESTRICTED TO EDITORIAL USE A protestor ran onto the court and set his arm on fire in the middle of the 2022 Laver Cup in London on Friday.
The protest temporarily halted the singles match between Stefanos Tsitsipas and Diego Schwartzman. He reportedly ran onto the court after Tsitsipas won the first set and set his arm on fire before security grabbed him. After officials determined the fire did not alter the court, the match resumed and Tsitsipas won the second set to clinch the victory.
"It came out of nowhere. I have no idea what this is all about. I never had an incident like this happen on court. I hope he is all right," Tsitsipas, according to The Guardian."I wanted to proceed the match without having any minor changes to the court and to make sure it was playable, especially that area. It also got in my way of viewing experience, the way I saw the court later. There was a big mark over there and I just wanted to get it cleared up.
