The US Open was halted on Monday, with all matches suspended for several minutes, after the Hawkeye system was interrupted due to a fire alarm.
Players including Caroline Wozniacki and Daniil Medvedev were briefly stranded on court during their round of 16 matches at Flushing Meadows.
It soon emerged that a fire alarm had sounded in the broadcast building, which also houses the team responsible for electronic line calling at the US Open.
People inside the building were evacuated, meaning play had to be paused for six minutes at Arthur Ashe Stadium, Louis Armstrong Stadium and other venues.
“After it was confirmed that it was only an alarm, play was resumed. In total, play was stopped for six minutes,” said a statement from the tournament organisers.
