Wimbledon protester thrown out of men's final after shouting: "Where is Peng Shuai?"

A protester was escorted out of Centre Court by security during the Wimbledon men's final between Novak Djokovic and Nick Kyrgios on Sunday afternoon.

The incident occurred early on in the third set of a pulsating match, with Djokovic and Kyrgios level on one set each. The protester is believed to have been shouting "Where is Peng Shuai?", referring to the Chinese tennis player whose safety is the subject of international concern.

The protester was positioned high up in the stands of the 15,000-seater stadium and momentarily brought the final to a standstill as Djokovic aimed to level the games at 2-2 in the third set. Security acted quickly so the match could resume.
