Climate protestors disrupt Andy Murray vs. Taylor Fritz match at DC Open

WASHINGTON - Climate protesters briefly interrupted a match at the DC Open tennis tournament Friday between three-time Grand Slam champion Andy Murray and top-seeded Taylor Fritz.

The action was delayed in the first set when three jumbo tennis balls were tossed onto the court in the event’s main stadium.

In the stands, some people chanted and displayed signs protesting the use of fossil fuels.

The Mubadala CITI Open is underway right now at Rock Creek Park Tennis Center in Northwest. George Gerbo with The Washington Times has been covering it. He joins "The DMV Zone" to discuss the action.

A spokesperson for the tournament said there was no damage done to the court.

At Wimbledon last month, three environmental activists were arrested after jumping out of the stands to disrupt matches by scattering orange confetti and puzzle pieces on the court.
