US Open tennis match in New York on Thursday night was interrupted when a small black drone crashed in the stands.
The second round match between 26th-ranked Flavia Pennetta and Monica Niculescu was under way when a small drone crashed in the stands and broke into pieces.
A spokesman for the US Tennis Association tells the AP that no one was injured in the incident, and that the New York Police Department “is conducting an ongoing investigation.” He added that no one has authorization to operate drones over the tennis center.
Thursday’s incident left both players startled, but Pennetta eventually regained her composure to serve out a 6-1, 6-4 win.
