Roger Federer is not happy with security at the French Open.

After his winning match against Colombia's Alejandro Falla on Sunday, the Swiss star was faced with an eager fan on center court. Feds appeared to not want a part in the happy snap, gesturing to security to remove the man.

Federer made his feelings clear at a press conference following the incident:

"I’m not happy about it. Obviously, not one second I’m happy about it," he told the media. "It happened yesterday in the practice, too. Just a kid, but then three more kids came. And today on center court, where you would think this is a place where nobody can come on, he just wanders on and nothing happens."

Federer said a similar security scare happened in 2009, when a man ran onto the court during the French finals and put a hat on his head. He said the French Open tournament director, Gilbert Ysern, has apologised and is taking steps to ensure the situation doesn't happen again.
