Security arrangements at Wimbledon have been boosted in the wake of a series of environmental protests at other large sporting events, the chief executive of the All England Lawn Tennis Club (AELTC) said.

Climate change group Just Stop Oil disrupted the second Ashes test at Lord’s, the Gallagher Premiership rugby final at Twickenham and the World Snooker Championship between April and July.
