Wimbledon star Amanda Anisimova fumed at a supporter for disrupting her service motion. The No.13 seed was in the process of tossing the ball into the air early on in the third set when a fan decided that was the perfect time to open a bottle of champagne.

Fans are instructed to remain seated and stay silent during play, and especially during a service motion. And this unruly supporter found out the hard way.

The popping noise rung around Court 3 and halted Anisimova in her tracks. She gave the fan a death stare and scolded "Why did you have to open that right now?"

The umpire reminded the crowd of their conduct, saying: "Thank you ladies and gentleman, if you could avoid opening bottles of champagne when the players are about to serve."
