Poppin' bottles: Wimbledon crowd scolded for popping champagne during play

WATCH: On Saturday, Chile's Nicolas Jarry went viral when he entered Centre Court and went the wrong way.

If you want to pop bottles, sparkles and champagne, make sure not to do it courtside at Wimbledon. Patrons at the All England Club found out that out for themselves on Sunday when a chair umpire was forced to gently scold them for doing so in the first game of the third-round match between Anastasia Potapova and Mirra Andreeva.

With Potapova ready at the baseline to serve in the opening game, the No. 21 seed's service routine was thrown off by a popping noise, forcing Australian umpire John Blom to humor the fans who caused the brief delay.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please, if you are opening a bottle of champagne, don't do it as the players are about to serve," he warned, to laughs from the commentary booth, scattered applause, and smirk and nod of endorsement from Potapova.

Sixteen-year-old Andreeva, not yet of legal drinking age in the U.K., eventually won the match, 6-2, 7-5.

It's not the first time that a bottle of bubbly has disrupted play at the All England Club, though the club's rules state that "all corked bottles, including bottles of champagne and sparkling wine, must be opened prior to being taken into the stands of any court."

In 2019, a cork famously flew onto the court during a match between Benoit Paire and Jiri Vesely, forced a let to be called and prompted the chair umpire to comment: "Ladies and gentlemen ... enjoy your champagne, but please don’t open it on the court please."
