The first disruption came during Bulgaria's Grigor Dimitrov's match against Japan's Sho Shimabukur, before another protester interrupted Boulter's match on the same court shortly after.said the supporters ran on to the court at around 2.10pm and"threw environmentally-friendly orange confetti glitter and jigsaw pieces on to the courts, before being removed".
Orange paper was seen being thrown into the air resulting in the umpire calling"wait please", as the BBC commentator said:"Oh no. Once more orange clouds hang over a British sporting event this summer." Deborah Wilde, 68, a retired teacher from London, who was one of the protesters who ran on the court, said:"I'm just an ordinary grandmother in resistance to this government's policy of serving us new oil and gas licences. In normal circumstances this sort of disruption would be entirely unacceptable, but these aren't normal circumstances."Forget strawberries and cream, scientists are warning of impending food shortages, mass displacement and war.
