Overview

• During her first-round match on Court 15, Yulia Putintseva paused play to demand the removal of a green-clad spectator she believed might be armed.
• Wimbledon security officers complied and escorted the individual out before the match resumed.
• Putintseva, visibly distressed by the incident, was unable to recover and lost 6-0, 6-0 to Amanda Anisimova in 45 minutes.
• She left the court in tears and did not attend the post-match press conference, offering no explanation.
• The episode echoes Emma Raducanu’s stalking scare in Dubai earlier this year and has prompted renewed scrutiny of tournament security protocols.
