Wimbledon hit by Just Stop Oil as protesters invade court and scatter confetti

A man and woman invaded the court during Grigor Dimitrov’s first-round match against Sho Shimabukuro – scattering orange confetti – and wearing t-shirts which read ‘Just Stop Oil’.

The man decided to sit by the net with his legs crossed as the woman was escorted off, before the male protester was also taken away. The crowd cheered as the protesters were removed while Just Stop Oil posted on Twitter: ‘BREAKING: Just Stop Oil Disrupt @Wimbledon.’ They also quoted the following BBC commentary: ‘Once more, orange clouds hang over a British sporting event this summer – this time it’s ticker tape rather than paint dust, but it is an intrusion and will need sorting out.’
