An unusual event occurred today (Friday) during the special tennis tournament in the Labor Cup, when a fan broke into the court in the 20th hall in London, set his hands on fire in protest of the private planes in Great Britain - all this in front of the best tennis players in the world such as Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak G and Kovich.

The fan broke into the court, during the break between the sets in the match between Europe represented by the Greek Stephanos Tsitsipas, and Diego Schwartzman from Argentina representing the rest of the world.
Both seemed shocked by the incident and worried about the protester's safety.
Within seconds, the security forces in the hall ran towards the protester, stopped him and extinguished the fire.
The game resumed, Tsitsipas won and put Europe ahead 0:2 in the special meeting that takes place in the next three days.
