Security Slow to Act at Australian Open Tennis

Last night at the conclusion of the semi-final between Andy Murray and Miran Cilic a 22-year-old Croation fan made his way onto centre court at Melbourne Park.

As I watched on television I was amazed how he was able to get right to Miran Cilic. It was reported on the SMH.com.au site that security guards only acted after the match umpire Pascal Maria realised he was not authorised to be on court.

I don’t know what the security guards were doing but he obviously should not have been on court. The guy was wearing a red-and-white checked Croation shirt so he stood out like a sore thumb.

Luckily for the players he had no sinister intentions otherwise things could have been quite bad.

The SMH report said the man will be charged over the incident.
