Protester sets own arm on fire during tennis tournament

LONDON – A protestor has set himself on fire on a tennis court just before Roger Federer is due to play his last ever match at the 02 Arena in a shocking incident.

The climate activist set his right arm alight in the middle of the court to protest the use of private jets in the UK.

The 20-year-old protestor, named Kai, is a member of the End UK Private Jets group, which claims that ‘carbon emissions in 2022 are genocide.’

Tennis legend Roger Federer is due to play the final match of his legendary career at the Laver Cup in London on the court later today.

Yesterday, tennis icons Andy Murray, Rafa Nadal and Novak Djokovic all played on the same court with Federer in a doubles match at the tournament.

He rubbed his arm to put the flames out as he sat on the tennis court while security rushed over to grab him, eventually dragging him away.
