Prince George beats the heat in Royal Box at Wimbledon final
The young royal sat in the Royal Box on Centre Court alongside his father, the Prince of Wales, who wore a sharp double-breasted navy suit and polka-dot tie. George looked smart in a dark jacket, pale blue shirt and striped tie as he watched defending champion Carlos Alcaraz take on Jannik Sinner. With temperatures reaching 27C in south-west London, George was seen opening and fanning himself with a dark wood-slatted hand fan and sipping bottled water with his father during a break in play. His sister, Princess Charlotte, also used one of the fans to cool herself in the afternoon sun. The fans, which featured a traditional folding design with brown wooden ribs and paper leaves, were widely used by Royal Box guests as they tried to stay comfortable in the heat. The Wales family arrived ahead of the final and paused to greet 11-year-old Ambrose Caldecott – the young cancer patient chosen to perform the ceremonial coin toss. Kate was heard telling him: 'Good luck today, we'll be cheering you on.' The Princess of Wales wore a royal blue dress, while Charlotte opted for a beige summer dress. They were joined in the box by a host of celebrities including Keira Knightley, Andrew Scott, Paul Mescal, Nicole Kidman and Dame Anna Wintour. Many guests chose lightweight tailoring, sunglasses and handheld fans to deal with the hot weather. The appearance marked another high-profile Wimbledon outing for Prince George, who also attended the men's final in 2022 and 2023. The family looked relaxed as they took in the final match of the fortnight under clear skies.

Jannik Sinner unnerved by Wimbledon missile as Italian avenges French Open loss to Carlos Alcaraz to clinch SW19 crown
A champagne cork landed by the Italian's feet just as he was about to serve during his championship triumph at SW19 Jannik Sinner insists he was unfazed by a missle thrown onto Centre Court during his four-set victory over rival Carlos Alcaraz that saw him become a Wimbledon champion for the first time. The Italian - who lost to the Spaniard at the French Open earlier this year - fought back from a set down at SW19 to win 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4, serving out to win the Championship in style. During the thrilling showpiece final, a champagne cork was thrown in tennis star Sinner's direction just as the 23-year-old was about to serve. His opponent Alcaraz saw the object fly through the air and waved his arms in frustration before a Wimbledon official then urged fans in the crowd to refrain from throwing anything onto the court. But classy Sinner kept his composure to get the job done, securing his fourth major title at the age of just 23. And the South Tyrol-born star even joked that seeing a champagne cork land by his feet is only something that would happen at Wimbledon. Asked in his post-match interview by BBC Sport if he had ever experienced anything similar during a game, he replied: "No, only here at Wimbledon! "But that's exactly why we love playing here. It's a very expensive tournament also!" Sinnker also admits the victory was extra sweet having lost out to good pal Alcaraz in that epic Paris showdown last month. "I would say mostly emotionally because I had a very tough loss in Paris", he added. "But at the end of the day it doesn't matter how you win or you lose, at important tournaments you just have to understand what you did wrong and work on that. We tried to accept the loss and keep working. For sure that is one of the reasons why I am holding this trophy. Having this means a lot. "The last game I served very well, I had some tough moments in the game before, but in best-of-five matches every moment can change the match, so I'm very happy I held my nerve."

McIlroy happy despite Scottish Open near miss
Some fell short. Others ran long. But none of Rory McIlroy's putts dropped on the back nine of this year's Scottish Northern Irishman needed birdies to regain the title he won in 2023 but ultimately could only scrawl a run of tidy pars on his card over the closing 10 holes at The Renaissance Club in East Lothian. It prevented the 36-year-old from denying world number 158 Chris Gotterup a hugely-unexpected win. But, far from being rueful, McIlroy was upbeat as he packs up his things and heads home to the Antrim coast for this week's Open Championship at Royal Portrush."No frustration; it's been a great week," he said of four rounds that concluded with him 13-under par after 19 birdies across the week."I'm really happy with where my game is; the way I played over the weekend; the shots that I hit, how I controlled my ball flight. Missing the trophy, that's about it." McIlroy shared the lead with Gotterup going into Sunday's final round and led after the American dropped a shot on the on three set him back, before three birdies in five holes leading up to the ninth reignited his charge and returned him to the in unerringly similar scenes to his final round at the 2022 Open at St Andrews - when his inability to hole putts on the back nine prevented him beating Cam Smith - McIlroy's putter was cold and Gotterup edged to victory. "It was pretty windy and was hard to get the ball super close, but I gave myself plenty of chances coming down the stretch," the Northern Irishman said."I feel like the greens got a little bumpy. I had some good putts that just didn't go in, whether they were mis-reads or poor speed."But I feel like I've gotten out of this week what I wanted. I'm looking forward to getting to Portrush tonight and getting out on to the golf course early tomorrow."
