They have discussed whether they should glue themselves to the net, the umpire’s chair or even the grass of the court itself.
One told a Sun undercover reporter: “An image of someone’s hand glued to something on Centre Court would be amazing.
“That would be very inspiring. There’s a lot of people up for that.”
Just Stop Oil and other activists have held a string of protests at sporting events in recent months.
They include the Grand National, Derby and April’s Snooker World Championship when a protester threw orange powder over the table.
Wimbledon has featured prominently in discussions over stepping up action in the summer.
One protester said: “Wimbledon is a bit of an open secret. It would be an iconic image. It would be an even better photo than the snooker.”
The group is also issuing a list of 65 magistrates and judges to new members — highlighting those they feel will be more sympathetic to their cause.
