Overview

• During her first-round match on Court 15, Yulia Putintseva halted play and demanded removal of a spectator she feared might be carrying a knife.
• The chair umpire alerted security personnel, and a tournament spokesperson reported that the matter was dealt with without disclosing whether the fan was ejected.
• Putintseva went on to lose 6-0, 6-0 to Amanda Anisimova as she showed visible distress and wiped away tears during changeovers.
• The All England Lawn Tennis Club confirmed it will not alter its existing safety protocols following the incident and remains satisfied with current procedures.
• High-profile threats earlier this year, including a man accused of stalking Emma Raducanu, led Wimbledon to block him from ticketing and reinforce its security stance.
