Squirrel Brings U.S. Open To Screeching Halt

Tuesday's match between Julien Benneteau and Olivier Rochus was held up as an adorable little squirrel found its way onto the court, hungry for acorns and fame. Officials threw tennis balls at the poor creature to try and drive him off, but you've just got to let squirrel stoppages play themselves out. Benneteau would win in straight sets; the squirrel ate some nuts or something.
