WASHINGTON (AP) — Taylor Fritz found the whole thing “annoying” when climate protesters briefly interrupted his match against Andy Murray at the DC Open tennis tournament on Friday.

Action was delayed in the first set of Fritz’s 6–7 (2), 6–3, 6–4 victory when some jumbo tennis balls were tossed onto the court in the event’s main stadium.
