Security personnel immediately went over and began moving them from the stands. The United States Tennis Association said that they were in New York Police Department Custody.
Back to the game, Gauff beat Muchova by two sets to nil, 6/4 and 7/5, and now advanced to face Aryna Sabalenka in Saturday’s final. This will be the second attempt of Gauff to win a Grand Slam singles final. She finished runner-up at the 2022 French Open, against Poland’s Iga Swiatek.
Gauff is the youngest American woman to reach her home Grand Slam final at 19 years old. The last one was Serena Williams in 1999.
