Open tennis semi-final between Fernando Verdasco and David Ferrer was briefly disrupted on Saturday when a spectator walked on to the court and shouted a Nazi slogan. Wearing a black


T-shirt and tan trousers, the man calmly walked on during the second set before raising his right arm, fist clenched, and shouting "Hell Seger!", a Swedish translation of the Nazi


slogan "Sieg Heil". The umpire stopped play and the man was led away by security guards. Play resumed after a brief interruption. The disruption occurred with Ferrer leading his


fellow Spaniard by one set to love. Verdasco bounced back to win the second set but Ferrer took the decider for a 6-1 6-7(3) 6-4 victory and will meet Alexandr Dolgopolov in Sunday's


final. (This article has not been edited by DNA's editorial team and is auto-generated from an agency feed.)
