'I’m here for my grandchildren and everybody else’s. I’m not prepared to let our politicians wreck everything and leave the next generation to pick up the pieces,' he said in a statement released by Just Stop Oil shortly after the incident took place. Play was suspended by rain on all outside courts shortly after the incident, with the match resuming when the weather cleared.
