NO OPENING CHAMPAGNE DURING PLAY AT WIMBLEDON

A fan popped a bottle of Champagne during a match on Sunday during the Wimbledon tennis tournament, where silence during play is the traditional etiquette. The offense happened during a match on No. 3 Court between Anastasia Potapova and Mirra Andreeva, both of Russia. Potapova was mid-serve when the pop of a Champagne cork was heard — she then hit the serve long. Potapova lost the point on her second serve. The umpire told the crowd, “Ladies and gentlemen, please, if you are opening a bottle of Champagne don’t do it as the player is about to serve. Thank you.”

* No one likes to hear booze from the audience.
* It must be the equivalent of unwrapping hard candy during a quiet scene at the movies.
