The French Crowd can be pretty vocal whenever a French player is playing, especially at the French Open in Paris. Today, we saw another incident during the first-round match between the Greek player Maria Sakkari and the French player Clara Burel.

As the Greek player was about to serve for the match, a member of the crowd started making some unnecessary noises. As a result, the security team at the stadium had to take some drastic steps to stop the person from interrupting the match.

Earlier in the Phillipe Chatrier stadium, the no.4 seed on the women’s side, Maria Sakkari played an outstanding match against the French player, Burel.

However, at the end of the match, as Sakkari was about the win the match in straight sets, a crowd member interrupted her which caused a massive delay in the game. The security team tried to get that person out of the stadium. Unfortunately, they failed to do so. However, they sat beside that person.

Apart from that, the Greek tennis star showed great form in her very first match at the French Open and will face a tough opponent in Karolina Muchova in the next round.
