    The protester looked to have attached herself by the neck to the net.

    She has been removed by security.

    Amelie Mauresmo is still down on the court, with the players having left temporarily.

    The court is being swept in preparation for their return.

    It is quite concerning, the tournament director Amelie Mauresmo is out there, it's not what you want to see at a tennis match.

    Amelie Mauresmo, the tournament director, has come courtside to watch the proceedings.

    I think the protester has secured themselves to the net, much as someone did at a Premier League match earlier this year.

    Someone is on the court kneeling next to the net post with some kind of message on her T-shirt. I don't know if she has handcuffed herself to the net.

    A protestor has run on to court and has tied themselves to the net!

    The camera has cut away while security sort it out.

    Ruud 3-6 6-4 4-0 Cilic*

    Casper Ruud races out to 40-0 before a netted backhand means he drops a point on his serve for the first time in this set.

    Not to worry, though. A big serve is sent long by Cilic, and Ruud extends his lead even further.

    Cilic is just losing it, he has done so many things right but Ruud has upped his game while Cilic has dropped.

    What does he do differently as right now he doesn't have any clarity of thought?

    Great defensive work from Ruud but Cilic has him on the run and this time he makes the forehand winner.

    That's another miss from Cilic, though, the ball no longer finding the lines, and it gives Ruud another break opportunity.

    Nice from Cilic, moving into a one-two punch, and he saves the break point.

    Ruud chunters furiously towards his box.

    Ruud slides behind the baseline and nets his backhand.

    Cilic does similar, however, and its back to deuce.

    Third time lucky for Casper Ruud!

    He lobs a return of serve up, tempting Marin Cilic into an overhead, and the Croat duly smacks it long once again.

    Ouch.
