Gauff was a set up and holding serve to open the second when a disturbance broke out in the upper reaches of the stadium and shouting disrupted play. As the players looked into the stands, security flooded into the section around the disturbance. More than a dozen law enforcement officers arrived on the scene and three protesters were removed by New York police department officers. Another, who had been handcuffed by police but was affixed to the floor, caused further delay to the resumption of the match as medics attempted to extricate the protester safely.
