Just Stop Oil protesters twice interrupted play on the third day of Wimbledon on Wednesday, releasing orange ticker-tape mixed with jigsaw puzzle pieces during matches on Court 18.
The first incident involved two protesters running on to the court holding boxes marked as 1,000-piece jigsaws of Centre Court before sprinkling the contents, halting play between Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov and Japan's Sho Shimabukuro.
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 court and there appeared to be no damage.Later, on the same show court which is overlooked by a terrace used by television broadcasters, the match between Britain's Katie Boulter and Australian Daria Saville was halted by a similar incident.
