Wondering what the heck happened at Wimbledon that stopped play during two matches and resulted in a mess all over the All England Club grass?
That would be a pair of protestors who want to “Just stop oil,” as their shirts said. They dumped orange confetti all over the court on which Grigor Dimitrov and Sho Shimabukuro were playing, as well as the match between Daria Saville and Katie Boulter. They were eventually dragged away by security.
Take a look at a few of the photos from the incidents below, which led to some delays and the protestors in Metropolitan police custody:
