A game after several anti same-sex marriage protesters stopped play with a demonstrative display in the stands, a man ran out onto the court during the French Open final between Rafael Nadal and David Ferrer. The shirtless man was wearing a white mask and holding a flare. He was promptly tackled by security as Nadal tried to flee. A small fire broke out and smoke filled the court for a couple minutes before play resumed.
