The recipe of the Albanian fans from Belgrade during the qualification football match between Serbia and Albania also arrived via Bara. On the second largest field of the US Open, the crowd watched in amazement as a drone flew over the field and crashed, fortunately on an empty part of the stands during the match between Flavija - Penet - Monika Niculescu.
"I heard the sound of the device from the field and it was scary, to be honest. I thought the end had come, because after everything that happens in the world, it should be expected in places like this," said the shocked 26th world player, Peneta .
At the moment of the drone's intrusion, Peneta lost her dominance on the court, but she recovered enough to finish the match in two sets (6:1, 6:4).
The organizer's representative said that the police are investigating the case, after representatives of the police and fire protection came to the scene of the drone crash.
"The referee was waiting for a signal from the police to continue the match, but I am of the opinion that they were not aware of the new situation. All those security measures, and that thing just fell in. What if there were people in the stands!? I'm sure someone would have been killed ", the Italian tennis player resignedly concluded.
