A US Open doubles match had a point called dead Saturday after the chair umpire noticed a fifth participant had snuck onto the hard court.
A squirrel interrupted the second set of a match between the Belgian team of Greet Minnen and Yanina Wickmayer and the German-Russian team of Laura Siegemund and Vera Zvonareva, leaving the point as a let.
The Siegemund-Zvonareva team actually seemed on the verge of winning after a volley into a wide-open part of the court, but could only throw up their hands — literally, in Zvonareva's case — as the squirrel ran across the court and eventually escaped around the stands.
