It has been a chaotic opening week at Wimbledon with queues frustrating fans on day one, protesters interrupting matches on day three and rain and scheduling problems causing disruption throughout the tournament so far. The competition has a significant number of first-round matches still to play while the top seeds, able to continue under the covers of the main show courts, have already progressed to round three. Organisers tried to stay on track but with Just Stop Oil protesters adding to the disruption, the All England Club’s attempt to play an ambitious total of 87 singles matches soon fell by the wayside.
