A large sheet of metal paneling that detached from a giant TV screen in strong winds and crashed onto center court spectators below slightly injured three people and caused a mid-match suspension of about 40 minutes to a French Open quarterfinal on Tuesday. French Open organizers said none of the injuries were serious. One man evacuated by first-aiders clutching his right arm lifted his left arm to wave to the crowd on Court Philippe Chatrier as he was led away.
