The quarterfinal French Open match Tuesday between No. 5 Kei Nishikori and No. 14 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga was delayed after a piece of the scoreboard at Court Philippe-Chatrier flew loose due to high winds, striking spectators.
Video of the incident was captured by twitter user @TrudelSteph.
Many tennis commentators tweeted as the incident occurred.
No serious injuries have yet been reported and Tsonga and Nishikori are now back on the court after a 40 minute delay.
