A protester was quickly thrown out of Centre Court early in the third set of the Wimbledon final against Nick Kyrgios and Novak Djokovic.
And Wimbledon isn't the first Grand Slam to be hit be protesters this year either, as a climate campaigner chained herself to the net on Court Philippe-Chatrier at the French Open earlier this year during Casper Ruud and Marin Cilic's semi-final. The protesters wore white skirts with red shorts underneath, inspired by former pro Tatiana Golovin, who caused controversy when she wore red shorts under her skirt back in 2007. They have also suspended all events in China.
