NEW YORK – A drone buzzed over the court during a US Open match in Louis Armstrong Stadium on Thursday night and crashed into an empty section of seats.

US Tennis Association spokesman Chris Widmaier said no one was injured and that the New York Police Department was “conducting an ongoing investigation.”

The black device flew diagonally through the arena during the next-to-last game of a second-round match that 26th-seeded Flavia Pennetta of Italy won, 6-1, 6-4, over Monica Niculescu of Romania.
