Ivanovic shaken after fan falls
Former French Open champion Ana Ivanovic was shaken up when a spectator was injured after falling down the stairs at Rod Laver Arena, but recovered her composure to ease into the third round at the Australian Open on Thursday.
Melbourne: Former French Open champion Ana Ivanovic was shaken up when a spectator was injured after falling down the stairs at Rod Laver Arena, but recovered her composure to ease into the third round at the Australian Open on Thursday.
The first set between the Serbian and her opponent, Anastasija Sevastova, was held up for 26 minutes as the woman was treated by medical staff in the stands of the showcourt.
"I felt really bad. I was really shaking, because the sound of the lady falling was really loud. I could hear it. I stopped immediately," Ivanovic said, after her 6-3, 6-3 victory.
"It just really didn't sound so good. It was actually good that we had to wait a little bit because I was really shaking, because I could imagine and it was not so nice. Then they told us she was bleeding, so I hope she's well."
Tournament organisers said the spectator was taken by stretcher to a first aid post for observation and further treatment. It was the second time in the first four days of the tournament that play was delayed while a spectator underwent medical treatment after Bernard Tomic's match against Denis Istomin was similarly disrupted on Tuesday.
