MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — A protester threw papers onto an Australian Open court and briefly delayed the fourth-round match between Olympic champion Alexander Zverev and Cameron Norrie of Britain. A person wearing a face mask threw anti-war pamphlets from the stands onto the court behind the baseline during the third set. Ball kids gathered up the papers and the match continued. Security escorted the protestor away. Zverev won the match in five sets to advance to the quarterfinals.
