17 of the best tweets so far about the Wimbledon Championships
Wimbledon fortnight is well under way, with all the usual news stories – the big hitters who are already out, the outsiders taking unexpected scalps, the environmental protesters throwing jigsaws and confetti …Wait, what?
Activists from Just Stop Oil interrupted 2 tennis matches at Wimbledon on July 5, throwing ‘environmentally friendly’ confetti and jigsaw puzzle pieces onto the courts. pic.twitter.com/hQRkDuk0ef

‘Let. First serve.’
See, I could be a referee at Wimbledon. Or judge, or whatever it’s called.

All this anger about Just Stop Oil disrupting Wimbledon but no thought at all to Wimbledon disrupting Richard Osman’s House of Games.
Double standards if you ask me.

Seeing Andy Murray playing on Centre Court at #Wimbledon has just reminded me of the time he kept his absolute cool while serving a watermelon, and trying hard not to get distracted by Minder star Dennis Waterman snogging a giant duck in the crowd. pic.twitter.com/xrH0xx9rGs

I've invented a game called: Silent Tennis.
It's like regular tennis but without the racquet.
