Tennis player Yulia Putintseva demanded the removal of a 'dangerous' spectator during her match at Wimbledon on Tuesday, June 28th. Putintseva was playing against Louise crafting in the match's second set, when the Kazakh athlete approached the chair umpire with a complaint about a spectator's behaviour. After Setpoint, Putintseva expressed her frustration saying: `` I want to continue the match, but just remove that person. I cannot focus on the match because everywhere I look, I see him. It's a dangerous situation ''

The supervision responded by delaying the match by 15 minutes while announcing that the fan in question would be removed from the stadium. After the incident, Craft continued to dominate Putintseva, winning the match with a score of 6-4, 6-0. This sparked debates amongst audiences and players alike, regarding what is considered acceptable fan behaviour.

The incident interrupted Putintseva's performance and Craft's victory was undisputed. The All England Club confirmed the removal of the spectator and confirmed that the spectator in question was banned from the Wimbledon grounds for the rest of the tournament.

The club's statement read: "We have a detailed policy regarding any disruptive behaviour from members, ticket-holders, and guests at the Championships, and we will always act accordingly and in the interests of preserving the best possible environment for the players to compete in. Any form of disruptive behaviour will not be tolerated."

This episode may have been a one-time incident, but it raises questions about the behaviour of spectators during high-stakes matches and what qualifies as acceptable support for athletes.
