Zverev says fans should not have to tackle protestors at Australian Open

MELBOURNE : Alexander Zverev said he was surprised two spectators had to step in and drag away a protestor who disrupted his Australian Open fourth-round match with Cameron Norrie on Margaret Court Arena on Monday.

Zverev’s match came to a brief halt in the third set when an individual wearing a mask threw “Free Palestine” leaflets on the court from the stands before being dragged away. Ball kids then cleared up the court and play resumed.

“That was a little bit surprising because the security here, I mean on-site where the players’ area is, is extremely strict,” Zverev, who went on to close out a 7-5 3-6 6-3 4-6 7-6(3) win, told reporters.

“Even today, I played obviously five sets, four hours, some minutes. I went to the locker room, and the gym area is right next to the locker room. They wouldn’t let me into the gym because I forgot my credential in the locker room.

“What are you doing? You’re protecting players from players. That’s not really the whole point. Something like this happens and it takes three, four minutes for somebody to show up.”

Tennis Australia said that venue security was deployed to detain the individual as soon as the behaviour was identified and reported. The protestor was subsequently evicted.

“Two patrons were active in notifying security and stopping the protestor and we appreciate their actions,” Tennis Australia said in a statement, adding it would not tolerate behaviour that seeks to disrupt the tournament.

Zverev said it should have been the security officials who acted first and not fans.

“There’s obviously screens and TVs everywhere in front of all the security guys,” he said. “If you’ve seen somebody play for four hours, it’s okay to go stretching in the gym even if you forgot your credential.

“That’s not sounding arrogant. I understand they’re all doing their job. But I think when something like this happens, it shouldn’t be another fan dragging the other person out.

“It should be the security guys that should be there quite quickly. It shouldn’t take them three-four minutes.”
