🎾 Two protesters from Just Stop Oil briefly interrupted play on the third day of WIMBLEDON, releasing orange glitter on Court 18 during a men's singles match
Two protesters from Just Stop Oil ran on to the court holding boxes marked as 1,000-piece jigsaw puzzles of Centre Court and sprinkled the contents, halting play between Grigor Dimitrov and Sho Shimabukuro.
One of the protesters covered the court quite liberally while the other one aimed mainly wide of the tramlines. Security staff quickly removed the individuals, one of whom sat down cross-legged on the turf. Neither resisted. The crowd booed the protesters with some heard shouting "Get Off". Ground staff then swept the glitter off the court and there appeared to be no damage.Security had been beefed up for the grasscourt Grand Slam, one of the jewels of the British sporting summer, after a spate of protests at high-level events in Britain.
