Dan Evans' wife Aleah watches on nervously as Brit is dumped out of Wimbledon by Novak Djokovic
DAN EVANS' wife Aleah watched on nervously as her man was knocked out of Wimbledon. Evans, 35, lost in straight sets to Novak Djokovic in the second-round clash on Centre Court. 8 8 8 8 He put up a valiant effort in front of the 15,000-strong crowd. But the Brummie could not prevent losing his 100 per cent winning record against arguably the greatest tennis player of all time. Djokovic breezed through 6-3 6-2 6-0 in one hour 47 minutes. Evans, though, was supported throughout the one-sided Wimbledon clash by his wife Aleah. Aleah took her seat in the player box alongside the rest of Evans' team. That included his coaching team and his dad who came back early from a golf trip in Wales to be there and watch the match. Glamorous Aleah was on hand to celebrate her husbands' points - although one of his five games was completely missed by the BBC as the TV cameras bizarrely cut away to an empty studio and Henman Hill for three minutes during play. But in truth there were slim pickings as Djokovic cruised past as Aleah and the others watched on helplessly. According to Evans and Aleah met in 2017 when she was working in Winchcombe. She was a constant source of support and encouragement throughout his 12-month drugs ban after a positive cocaine test result in the same year.

Wimbledon fan swaps traditional strawberries and cream for Domino's dip, sparking debate
Wimbledon fan swaps traditional strawberries and cream for Domino's dip, sparking debate A Wimbledon fan has sparked outrage by ditching the traditional cream on strawberries for a Domino's dip - and onlookers are not impressed with the unusual choice A Wimbledon spectator sparked a lively debate at the prestigious London tournament by forgoing the traditional cream with their strawberries in favour of Domino's Garlic and Herb Dip instead. The tennis fan caused quite a stir in the Wimbledon queue, boldly dipping the cherished strawberries into a pot of Domino's dip. Clara Jennings, 29, from Guildford, turned heads among fellow spectators as she tucked into her unusual snack while waiting to enter the globally renowned tennis event. Defending her unconventional choice, she explained: "Everyone does cream - I wanted something different. Sweet, savoury, and a little bit weird... but it works!" "I brought it as a bit of a laugh, but honestly, people loved it. I think I've started something." Her unique combination elicited various responses from onlookers. Clara Jennings raised eyebrows with her unconventional choice (Image: PinPep ) One tennis fan remarked: "I had to double take when I saw it, but I think it's pretty gross. Strawberries and cream are a match made in heaven - this dip should be reserved for pizza, and only pizza." Article continues below Yet others were curious enough to give it a go. Jennifer Holmes, hailing from London, said: "I'm all for the sweet and savoury mix. Someone has to start the trend. "Take peanut butter and jelly for example, that started with confusion but then went on to take the world by storm." At Wimbledon, it is estimated that fans consume over 1.9 million strawberries each year, which translates to a staggering 200,000 servings enjoyed throughout the Championships. Yet Wimbledon's classic strawberries and cream could be facing fierce competition from this new unexpected contender: strawberries paired with Garlic and Herb Dip, sparking a quirky new trend. The unconventional combination could potentially put a dent in the 7,000 litres of cream traditionally used to accompany the strawberries. Notably, the price of a serving of strawberries and cream has remained a steady £2.50 since 2010, making it a sweet deal for tennis fans. However, in recent years, Wimbledon has introduced a plant-based cream option for vegan spectators, available at select outlets around the grounds. A spokesperson for Domino's, said: "When this popped up on our Instagram, it was the first time we've seen someone enjoying our dip with strawberries! "How people enjoy our Garlic and Herb Dip is up to them - after all, lots of strange combinations were only strange until someone tried them. Article continues below "Perhaps next year we'll see raspberries dipped into BBQ Sauce, or bananas drizzled with Honey and Mustard. Brits are renowned for their sense of individualism, and there's nothing more British than Wimbledon, so keep your eyes peeled."

Dave Grohl and wife Jordyn Blum return to Wimbledon for star-studded day three after last year's outing at tennis tournament saw rocker 'snappy and irritated' as he battled with secret love child scandal
and his wife Jordyn Blum have returned to Wimbledon in their first public appearance together since it was revealed he has fathered a secret child with another woman. In a full circle moment, the pair had not been seen in public together since last July's outing at the tennis tournament - when fans noted the rocker appeared 'snappy and irritated'. Unbeknownst to onlookers at the time, the rocker had recently cheated on his wife. The following month, the Foo Fighters frontman, 56, welcomed a baby girl with Jennifer Young, a 38-year-old LA-based, rock-and-roll fan - leading him to post a public mea culpa admitting his affair in September. Since Dave's shock admission, the couple have been trying to get their marriage back on track, with sources sharing in February that Jordyn, 49, has 'forgiven' her husband. And the couple put on an united front as they joined a slew of stars for day three of the Wimbledon Championships on Wednesday, taking their seats in the famed Royal Box. During last year's outing at the tournament, Dave sounded annoyed and dismissive as he walked past the reporter and offered gruff, clipped responses. Several commenters on the TikTok clip at the time noted that the usually gregarious Grohl was in an unusually foul mood, with one summing it up: 'Dave has been acting slightly p***y recently.' During an interview, a journalist approached Dave and asked: 'Can I quickly get your prediction for a Wimbledon winner, please?' 'What?' Grohl responded with a quizzical look on his face. 'Who do you think is going to win Wimbledon?' the reporter rephrased himself, to no avail. 'What?' Grohl said again with the same exaggerated expression, as the reporter pressed: 'Who's gonna win? How about the men's [tournament]?' In response, Dave muttered: 'No clue,' as he walked past. 'The women's [winner]?' the reporter added, to which Dave shot back: 'Couldn't say'. While some suggested that Grohl could have more politely brushed off the reporter, other commenters claimed parasocial fans would have found something to be upset about by any response he gave. The Foo Fighters frontman welcomed a baby girl with Jennifer Young in August - leading him to post a public mea culpa admitting his affair the following month Wimbledon's third day will see Carlos Alcaraz return to Centre Court after his thrilling first round match against Fabio Fognini, with the former Champion set to go head-to-head with Brit Oliver Tarvet. It will also see a second round tie between British star Cameron Norrie against the US' Frances Tiafoe, while later this afternoon Emma Raducanu will be on Centre Court as she plays against Markéta Vondroušová. David opted for a smart navy suit and lilac tie while he scraped his unruly locks back in a ponytail. Jordan cut a chic figure in a cream trouser suit and a white lace vest, accessorising with a burgundy leather bag. Both she and Dave were without their wedding rings. Also at the event were Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas - who looked more loved-up than ever. The couple only had eyes for each other as they posed up a storm inside AELTC's Parkside Suite in No.1 Court at the star-studded tournament. They weren't the only cute couple in attendance, with Olivia Rodrigo enjoying a laugh with boyfriend Louis Partridge as they watched the games on Centre Court. Priyanka, 42, exuded glamour on the outing in a white high necked dress that cinched in at her slender waist. By her side, Nick, 32, looked dapper in a navy blazer and cream chinos. Meanwhile, fresh from her headlining slot at Glastonbury, Olivia, 22, was dressed to impress in a scarlet and cream checkered dress. Enola Holmes star Louis, also 22, was sartorially in sync with his superstar girlfriend as he matched a scarlet tie with his navy suit. As Dave and Jordyn enjoyed a stroll around the grounds, Foo Fighters marked the 30th anniversary of the band's classic 1995 debut with the opening salvo of its next chapter: Today's Song. It is the first new Foo Fighters music since 2023's universally acclaimed But Here We Are. In a note to fans, Dave wrote, 'Over the years, we've had moments of unbridled joy, and moments of devastating heartbreak. Moments of beautiful victory, and moments of painful defeat. 'We have mended broken bones and broken hearts. But we have followed this road together, with each other, for each other, no matter what. Because in life, you just can't go it alone. 'It should go without saying that without the boundless energy of William Goldsmith, the seasoned wisdom of Franz Stahl, and the thunderous wizardry of Josh Freese, this story would be incomplete, so we extend our heartfelt gratitude for the time, music, and memories that we shared with each of them over the years. Thank you, gentlemen.' Judy Murray opted for a white crochet top as she was seen chatting with former Spanish tennis player Juan Carlos Ferrero Juan is currently coaching Carlos Alcaraz who is currently ranked world number 2 The rocker also paid tribute to The Foo Fighters longtime, charismatic drummer, Taylor Hawkins, who died at the age of 50 in 2022. An autopsy found that Taylor suffered a 'cardiovascular collapse' after binging on a cocktail of drugs including heroin, marijuana, and opioids. Dave concluded: 'And... Taylor. Your name is spoken every day, sometimes with tears, sometimes with a smile, but you are still in everything we do, everywhere we go, forever. 'The enormity of your beautiful soul is only rivaled by the infinite longing we feel in your absence. We all miss you beyond words. 'Foo Fighters will forever include Taylor Hawkins in every note that we play, until we do finally reach our destination.' Last month, Dave and Jordan were pictured with their family for the first time since the affair was revealed in September. A source told US Weekly in March the couple are giving their 22 year marriage another go. They said: 'Jordyn has forgiven Dave and is trying to move on. She is [still] completely devastated by the situation but is standing by his side. 'They are going to counseling, and Dave has been doing anything he can to win back Jordyn's trust. Neither of them wants the family broken.' While Dave is best known for his career as a Grammy-winning rockstar, he was hit by scandal when he revealed he'd fathered a secret love child Since Dave's admission, the couple have tried to get their marriage back on track, with sources sharing that Jordyn has 'forgiven' her husband (pictured with their children in 2023) As Dave and Jordyn enjoyed a stroll around the grounds, Foo Fighters marked the 30th anniversary of the band's classic 1995 debut with the opening salvo of its next chapter: Today's Song The rocker also paid tribute to The Foo Fighters longtime, charismatic drummer, Taylor Hawkins, who died at the age of 50 in 2022 (pictured in 2005) In February the mother of Dave's lovechild was finally revealed, with Jennifer confirmed to be the woman in question by a report in Page Six. Jennifer also confirmed to the outlet that her baby was born on August 1, 2024, and she said Dave's last name is listed on the birth certificate. Jennifer did not want to reveal their daughter's name, telling the outlet 'because there's some really angry fans,' adding that 'protecting her identity is really important.' In October 2024, a People magazine insider noted that the whole situation has been 'rough' for Jordyn. 'Her mind is not on her marriage though,' they added. 'She doesn't trust Dave. She's not wearing her wedding ring.' Adding that Jordyn is 'focused on her own life and her girls.' A source told People magazine in November 2024 that the rocker is focused on working things out with her and their daughters, and that divorce is off the table. The source said: 'He's no longer working with a divorce attorney and instead hoping to work things out with his wife.' Another insider said that he 'loves his family,' noting that he has 'been prioritizing his family. He knows he messed up. 'It's one of those situations where you don't realize what you have done until you're about to lose it. He doesn't want to lose his family.' Multiple sources have claimed that Jordyn has known about the baby 'for a while,' and said she is a 'great mom and very dedicated to their daughters.' Jordyn and Dave shared daughters Violet, 18, Harper, 15, and Ophelia, 10.
