Wimbledon play suspended twice after Just Stop Oil protests

Play at Wimbledon was twice suspended after two separate Just Stop Oil protestors disrupted play on Wednesday afternoon.

The first incident occurred during the match between Grigor Dimitrov and Sho Shimabukuro on Court number 18 when two protesters stormed the court and threw jigsaw pieces and orange confetti onto the ground.

These two protesters were arrested for their actions, but the same court was targeted later in the day during a match between Katie Boulder and Daria Savile when activists again threw jigsaw pieces and confetti onto the court.
