Tennis: Putintseva asks for spectator to be removed at Wimbledon

# Tennis: Kazakhstan’s Yulia Putintseva asked for a spectator to be removed after expressing concerns about his behaviour during her first-round match at Wimbledon.  At the start of her encounter with American Amanda Anisimova, the 30-year-old approached the umpire to report the spectator, describing him as crazy and dangerous. It was not immediately clear what action was taken, but play resumed after the chair umpire consulted security personnel. A visibly emotional Putintseva lost 6-love, 6-love in the match that lasted only 44 minutes.
