Wimbledon umpire asks spectators not to uncork champagne bottles during serves

Potapova, who was preparing to serve when umpire John Blom made the announcement to a ripple of laughter and applause, smiled and nodded in agreement. The 16-year-old Andreeva went on to win 6-2 7-5, reaching the fourth round of a grand slam for the first time in her young career. Playing in just her second grand slam after her debut at the French Open earlier this year, she will next face American Madison Keys for a place in the final eight.
