PARIS — This one's for the birds: A pigeon landed on the court during a French Open match Saturday, leading the chair umpire to use a towel to rescue the fallen fowl.

“I hope the bird was OK. It was not looking good. I think maybe something with the wing,” Medvedev said. “The referee did a good job. He was very gentle. I think important. I hope the bird is fine. Maybe they'll take it to the vet clinic or something. I don’t know; we need to ask what happened after.”

The umpire then carried it toward a doorway and handed it off to someone else, who held the bird aloft, drawing more applause.“Yeah, I saw that. I think he was a little bit struggling," Machac said, presumably talking about the pigeon, but also possibly about Dumusois. “I don’t know what happened. ... But you need to focus. You can’t try to watch that. It's tough, but I tried to focus.”
