Wimbledon protester thrown out of Kyrgios vs Djokovic final is notorious troublemaker

The identity of the protester thrown out of Sunday's Wimbledon final has been revealed as Drew Pavlou, an Australian human rights activist.

It was during the third set of Novak Djokovic's dramatic win over Nick Kyrgios that a commotion could be heard from the stands. Both players stopped to find out what was happening in the crowd as one fan was then escorted from Centre Court.

Not long after the incident, it emerged the spectator in question was holding up a sign and shouting: "Where is Peng Shuai?" The women's tennis player has become the source of international debate after she accused former Chinese vice-premier Zhang Gaoli of a 2018 sexual assault last year, only to briefly disappear before retracting her statement and call the situation a "huge misunderstanding."
