Officials were forced to act quickly during Novak Djokovic’s Miami Open semi-final match against Grigor Dimitrov as a “heckler” was removed from the stands after just three games. Dimitrov became aggravated at 1-1 in the first set and the chair umpire rushed down onto the court, requesting for a spectator in the front row to be removed in the changeover.
Commentators confirmed the individual had been kicked out of the stadium and questioned whether a second individual also needed to be removed. It’s not the first time a fan has hecked a player this week, as Iga Swiatek was reportedly given extra security when a spectator harrassed her during a practice session.
