Medics were rushed to the court following an interruption early on in Lorenzo Musetti's opening match at the French Open. The No. 8 seed took on Yannick Hanfmann in the last day session match on Court Philippe-Chatrier on Sunday. Hanfmann was serving at 2-2 when a woman in the stands started screaming.

TNT Sports cameras cut away from the court stream entirely as commentators confirmed stewards and medics had been brought to the stands to assist the woman.

All eyes were on Court Philippe-Chatrier for the last match of Sunday's day session, as Rafael Nadal's tribute ceremony has been scheduled to start at the conclusion of Musetti vs Hanfmann.

After a day full of on-and-off rain delays, the sun was shining for the third match of the day and the roof was open. But there was an interruption just four games into a match when a spectator could be heard screaming, leaving both players confused.

"We just have a little disturbance on the side of the court," commentator Miles Maclagan said.

Nick Mullins added: "Yeah, there’s a lady down below us who is a little bit agitated."

The broadcast cut to a view above the main stadium court while medics raced to the stands. The chair umpire also got down to check what was going on before returning to her chair, and the players waited on court.

"The stewards and the medics have come down very quickly to help her and she is now being helped away," Mullins soon confirmed.

"She seems fine, she’s on her feet, albeit with a bit of assistance. That was a reason for the noises."

Play resumed and Hanfmann quickly held serve, unbothered by the brief interruption.

The world No. 142 is a huge underdog in the match. Musetti has enjoyed a stellar clay-court season, cracking the top 10 after he reached the final in Monte-Carlo and back-to-back semis in Madrid and Rome.

He's also enjoyed success on Philippe-Chatrier, winning the Olympic bronze medal on the same court last summer. And the No. 8 seed now believes he can challenge for his first Grand Slam title.

"I arrived Paris with an ambition to win Roland Garros," he said. "I feel I have improved in every aspect of my game, especially my physicality. I'm ready to chase big titles and consider myself a contender for the title.

"I have never felt so confident in my tennis, and I believe I know how to chase the title."
