A crowd member has confronted Roger Federer on court during the final of the French Open. The man invaded the Roland Garros court in Paris during the fourth game of the second set and attempted to wrap a red flag around the Swiss star's head.
Federer pushed the intruder away as security guards rushed to apprehend him.
The man briefly evaded their chase by jumping over the net, before being wrestled to the ground and dragged off the clay court.
Federer confirmed he was ready to continue almost immediately and play resumed with the world number two appearing only mildly shaken.
The 27-year-old was leading Sweden's Robin Soderling by two games to one during the second set when the incident happened.
He had won the first set 6-1 as he attempts to win a world record-equalling fourteenth grand slam.
Victory will also see Federer become only the sixth player in the game's history to win all four men's slams.
