A Davis Cup match was brought to an unusual halt on Wednesday when two protestors stormed onto the court and tried to tie themselves to the net.

Croatia's Borna Coric was locking horns with Spain's Roberto Bautista Agut in Malaga when a pair of climate change activists briefly interrupted the second set by running onto the court.

Five security guards rushed on to thwart the protestors, one of whom could be seen desperately trying to grab onto the net before being apprehended.

Fans were heard jeering as they were taken away by security, before Coric went on to secure victory in two sets.

It is not the first time a tennis match has been marred by protests in recent months, as a similar incident also occurred at the Laver Cup back in September.
