Create Account Emma Raducanu was facing off against Aryna Sabalenka, the top-ranked women's tennis player in the world, on Monday when a wailing child in the stands became too much for British star.

As she went to begin her serving motion, she stopped, asked for time, and began talking to the umpire. 'It's been, like, 10 minutes,' Raducanu said, referring to the amount of time the child had been crying. 'It's a child,' the umpire replied. 'Do you want me to kick the child out of the stadium?'

Raducanu shrugged as many fans can be heard shouting 'yes,' to which she smiled and gestured to the crowd. 'I can call in, but we need to continue for the moment,' the umpire said. Raducanu went on to hold serve in the game, but eventually fell to Sabalenka 7-6, (6-2), 4-6, 7-6, (7-5) in a down-to-the-wire thriller. While asking for a child to be removed from the crowd could be seen as harsh, many fans on social media also backed Raducanu, mainly for one big reason: It was incredibly hot. Temperate estimates in Cincinnati during the time of the match on Monday ranged from 31C to 35C, including humidity. 'Who takes a baby to a tennis match in 95 (degree Fahrenheit — 35C) heat with humidity!' one user on X asked.

Article content Garrett is scheduled to appear in court on Thursday but he could pay a $250 fine without appearing.
