The fan, who was not named, was reportedly approached on the grounds by the tournament’s head of security, who told her the flag was above regulation size, Reuters reported.
“Per the Western & Southern Open’s bag policy, as stated on the tournament’s website, flags or banners larger than 18 x 18 are prohibited,” a spokesperson for the tournament told Reuters in an email.
“Therefore, the patron was asked to remove the flag from the grounds and after doing so was allowed to remain at the tournament.
