Andrew Garfield attends seventh day of Wimbledon Championships
The 41-year-old is best known for starring in The Amazing Spider-Man, as well as playing Eduardo Saverin in The Social Network while Barbaro is known for portraying Joan Baez in A Complete Unknown.
He recently starred alongside British actress Florence Pugh in the romance drama, We Live In Time.
He was among other familiar faces who were in attendance at the tennis tournament including British actor Tosin Cole.
Sitting in the Royal Box were Olympic swimming champions Duncan Scott, Matt Richards, and James Guy.
Former swimming champion Mark Foster was also seen in the Royal Box along with Trinidadian former international cricketer, Brian Lara.
Spectators were met with a cloudy start to the day followed by some light rain with some taking shelter under umbrellas and ponchos.
The rain was seen to interrupt Carlos Alcaraz's practice before his match against Russian Andrey Rublev who has won one of their previous three meetings – on the clay in Madrid last year – and has powered his way through to the fourth round at Wimbledon for the third time.
Meanwhile, on Court One spectators can expect to see Aryna Sabalenka who will face Elise Mertens later today.

Bangor showjumper awarded scholarship at St Gerard's
Grace Owen, 15, will begin her A Levels this summer at St Gerard's School after being awarded a sports scholarship. She said: "I've been riding for a long time, but it was only two or three years ago when I really started to compete in the British Showjumping events and took it to the next level. "This is my last year on ponies, I will be moving up to ride horses and jump seniors which I'm really looking forward to. "It will be very different, and the fences will be higher, but I am ready for the challenge." The young equestrian has been riding since the age of three and has competed nationally on ponies Milo and Stella. Her short-term goal is to qualify for the Horse of the Year Show (HOYS) later this year, where she will compete in her age and height category. She also hopes to represent Wales in future competitions. Grace recently competed in the Blue Chip Championships and is aiming for the HOYS qualifiers in the coming months.

Her parents, Amanda and Matt, praised the support Grace has received from the school.

Jon Jones urged not to make same mistakes as Conor McGregor
The former dual-weight UFC champion is open to returning to the cage just weeks after announcing his retirement - but has been issued a stern warning by an MMA legend UFC legend Daniel Cormier has advised long-time rival Jon Jones NOT to turn into former dual-weight champion Conor McGregor. Last month saw Jones hang up his gloves from MMA, with Tom Aspinall being bumped up to undisputed heavyweight champion. Despite capturing the title in 2023, Jones would only go on to defend the belt once - a knockout victory over Stipe Miocic last November. It seemed inevitable that Jones and Aspinall were headed for a clash, but Jones failed to publicly commit to fighting the British sensation. Just weeks after confirming his retirement, Jones announced that he had re-entered the drug testing pool - which he would need to fight again, reports All Out Fighting. The American MMA veteran also expressed interest in fighting at the White House after US president Donald Trump revealed his plans to host a UFC event there. Over recent weeks, Jones has been the hot topic on Cormier's YouTube channel, where 'DC' stated that his ex-opponent's antics reminds him of McGregor – but for all the wrong reasons. Speaking on the Good Guy/Bad Guy show, Cormier said: 'Jon Jones and I don't see eye-to-eye in most instances. And, boy, he's been great for my YouTube here this last couple months. Him flopping all over the place has been great for my YouTube. Please don't become what Conor has become in the media. 'Every time a big story breaks, Conor's like, I'm back, or I'm doing this. Don't do that. Don't try to make it about you when you voluntarily walked away from this. Conor didn't voluntarily walk away. Conor got hurt, and he left. He just hasn't come back. Jones voluntarily said I'm done. So now that he's done, don't try to make these stories about you whenever you're a guy that's supposed to have walked away from the game." Despite their ongoing feud, Cormier disclosed the one situation where he would back Jones. 'DC' expressed his desire to see a fellow American triumph in celebration of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. With rumours of the White House hosting the event, Cormier confessed he would even support 'Bones' if he decided to return from retirement for the significant occasion. "(It needs) a bad, bad American that's going to win," Cormier said. "It pains me to say, if we've got to send one bad American out there to get the job Jon Jones. I would cheer so hard for him! I would cheer so hard for him on the White House. I know you guys always say I'm hard on Jones, if we've got to send one American fighter out to the White House to get a dub, man, send Jon Jones out there." Jones recently admitted that he now 'likes' the idea of a fight against Aspinall. His comments came just days after making a dramatic retirement U-turn. The 37-year-old recently commented on a post on Instagram which depicted him fighting - and beating - Aspinall at the White House, with the British star left on the floor while Jones celebrated his victory. In response, he wrote: "I like this."

Sports fans left frustrated by technology's influence after Wimbledon incident
A poll of 2,000 adults who watch live sport found 35% also find it frustrating to watch when important decisions are made by technology A survey of 2,000 adults who enjoy watching live sports revealed that 35% are frustrated when crucial decisions hinge on technology. Moreover, 52% feel it interrupts the game's rhythm excessively, and 42% have experienced a delay in celebrating goals and points because of technological interventions. Additionally, 31% think video reviews dampen the excitement of live matches. The study, conducted by Lottoland's Sportsbook, follows an incident at Wimbledon where officials had to apologise to Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova and Sonay Kartal due to a fault with the new electronic line-calling system. Kartal hit a ball past the baseline which the system failed to detect, later found to be because it had been switched off in that area of the court. Tennis is not alone in experiencing glitches with video assistance; the Premier League has also seen its fair share of errors. In a notable match in 2023, Liverpool's Luis Diaz was incorrectly ruled offside before scoring, as VAR officials and the on-pitch referee miscommunicated the 'check complete' signal. A spokesperson for Lottoland Sportsbook commented: "Video replays are really a love or hate thing in sports, it seems." They added: "The main aim of the tech is to come to quick and accurate decisions, but it seems lots of people don't trust it. We've seen it can even cost people their game, as demonstrated at Wimbledon last week." The study also revealed that six out of 10 supporters think video review technology needs enhancement, while a tenth are of the opinion that it should be axed from all live sports. Moreover, 68% don't believe tennis competitions, such as Wimbledon, make the most effective use of video technology, with football receiving similar sentiments from 60% of fans. A notable 12% feel that it's damaging the heritage of tennis, as per the OnePoll figures. Additional gripes from spectators include inconsistent application (37%) and an excessive dependence on tech rather than umpire discretion (29%). A spokesperson for Lottoland's Sportsbook commented: "There is certainly a culture when it comes to Wimbledon and other tennis tournaments and the line judges seem embedded in that, so it is a bit of a shame they have been replaced with technology, especially when it isn't quite going to plan. "Technology is continuing to develop and it does seem like there is some way to go when it comes to electric line calling." Slow decision-making disrupting the flow of the game It interrupts the game too much Delay in celebrating goals and points scored Inconsistency in when and how it is used Marginal offside decisions decided by tiny, imperceptible differences Over-reliance on technology over referee judgment Unresolved disputes over handball or foul interpretations Video replay decisions taking the spotlight away from the actual sport and performance Inconsistent application across different competitions or leagues Communication with fans and players being confusing or unclear
