DAN EVANS stopped his US Open showdown with Carlos Alcaraz – because he spotted a random person sat with his girlfriend in his box.
The British No2 took on the world No1 and defending champion in the third round inside the massive Arthur Ashe Stadium in New York.
But late in the first, which he dropped 6-2, Evo gave himself a breather as he got distracted by a bizarre incident.
The gutsy Brummie ace, 33, suddenly halted a game in order to speak to French umpire Damien Dumusois and signal towards his camp in the stands.
And it quickly became clear that there was an unexpected intruder sitting alongside his team – including his glamorous girlfriend Aleah.
