Play at Wimbledon was suspended after a Just Stop Oil protester stormed court 18 and threw confetti during Katie Boulter's match.
Sophie, who filmed the video, said:
"My friend and I are out for a day at Wimbledon, having attained ground passes this morning in the queue.
"We were watching the Katie Boulter vs Daria Saville match, which had a tie break in the first set.
"The tie break was suddenly interrupted by a man in a black jumper running onto the pitch and opening a Wimbledon souvenir item full of golden confetti.
"He then unzipped his sweater and revealed a Just Stop Oil t-shirt. He was dragged off the court by security, but a 10-15 minute delay ensued to get the confetti off."
The video was filmed on July 5.
