Roger Federer Upset over French Open Security after Fan Runs on Court

17-time major champion and former world No. 1, Roger Federer was not amused when a fan ran on court and tried to take a selfie.

Federer had just finished up his interview after his first round win against Colombia's Alejandro Falla (6-3, 6-3, 6-4) in the French Open when a fan rushed onto the court. The Swiss looked uncomfortable and attempted to brush away the fan while the fan tried to put an arm around the champion. A guard eventually came to escort the spectator out of the stadium.

"This should never happen on the Philippe Chatrier court. I'm not happy about it. Obviously not one second I'm happy about it," Federer, who won the 2009 French Open, said. "Normally I only speak on behalf of myself, but in this situation, I think I can speak on behalf of all the players - that that's where you do your job, that's where you want to feel safe."

Falla stated, "It's a risk for the players because anything can happen if a guy just can jump on the court."

Federer added that just one day before, several kids interrupted his practice session.

"It's not just being there, standing there on the courts wearing a nice tie and suit. It's not that funny and I hope there is going to be a reaction from the tournament," Federer said about the guards. "They apologized, and I must say that I appreciated this, but I'd like to see what's going to happen next."

Federer and his wife, Mirka, received a personal apology by the tournament director, Gilbert Ysern, who called the whole situation "embarrassing," Ysern blamed the incident on a "lack of judgment" by the security guards and added that "there is no reason...to change the security procedures."

Federer will play Marcel Granollers from Spain in the next round.
