All the Stars, From Olivia Rodrigo to Priyanka Chopra, Watching Wimbledon This Year
Cate Blanchett, Rebel Wilson, Jessica Alba, Olivia Rodrigo, Louis Partridge, Jason Isaacs, David Beckham, Priyanka Chopra, and Nick Jonas are among the stars spotted at Centre Court. They have much to look forward to on the court, as both the women's and men's singles draw are stacked with major contenders. Players include Carlos Alcaraz, Novak Djokovic, Jannik Sinner, Aryna Sabalenka, Coco Gauff, and Jessica Pegula.
Founded in 1877, Wimbledon is one of the most prestigious tennis tournaments in the world. It remains the only Grand Slam played on grass, and its reputation for tradition is matched by its global visibility. Players adhere to a strict all-white dress code, and attendees must follow a strict dress code. Men are required to wear a 'lounge suit or tailored jacket, shirt, tie and trousers.'
Women are encouraged to wear 'smart daywear,' including dresses, skirts, or ankle-length jumpsuits. Sportswear, denim of any kind, shorts, hoodies, and sneakers are explicitly prohibited. Even footwear must meet a refined standard, with tennis and running shoes also banned.
This year, Wimbledon runs through July 13. And with its famed Royal Box and Kate Middleton as a frequent attendee (and the club's patron), there is bound to be more A-list moments ahead. Below, see every star who has been spotted at Wimbledon so far.

Djokovic sets another record at Wimbledon and jokes about sipping margaritas on beach with rivals
LONDON (AP) — Novak Djokovic added another record to his name by reaching Wimbledon's third round for a 19th time with a 6-3, 6-2, 6-0 win over Dan Evans on Centre Court on Wednesday. It was Djokovic's 99th match win at Wimbledon overall, and the 19 third-round appearances put him one ahead of Roger Federer for most by any man in the Open Era. It's hardly the most prestigious record for Djokovic, whose 24 Grand Slam titles — including seven at Wimbledon — are the most by a male player. But he could at least use it to poke fun at his new, and much younger, main rivals. 'Nineteen times, that's a great stat,' said the 38-year-old Djokovic. 'That's probably almost as much as Sinner and Alcaraz have years in their lives.' Well, not quite. Carlos Alcaraz, who beat Djokovic in the last two Wimbledon finals, is 22, while No. 1-ranked Jannik Sinner — who was playing later on Centre Court — is 23. The growing rivalry between Sinner and Alcaraz — especially in the wake of their five-set final at the French Open last month — has helped tennis move on from the era of the Big Three, where Djokovic is the last man standing after Federer and Rafael Nadal retired. But Djokovic is too focused on proving he can still win another Slam to sit back and reflect on everything he has accomplished at Wimbledon. 'I don't pause to reflect, to be honest. I don't have time,' Djokovic said in an on-court interview. 'I would like to. But I think that's going to come probably when I set the racket aside and then sip margarita on the beach with Federer and Nadal and just reflect on our rivalry and everything.' Against Evans, Djokovic failed to convert his first nine break points in the first set. But once he got the breakthrough for a 5-3 lead — raising both arms in the air as if to say 'finally' — he went five-for-six on break points the rest of the way. 'You have these kinds of days where everything goes your way,' said Djokovic, who didn't face a break point of his own until the final game. 'Everything flows.' What else happened Thursday at Wimbledon? No. 7-seeded Mirra Andreeva and No. 10 Emma Navarro both advanced in straight sets. The 18-year-old Andreeva earned a 6-1, 7-6 (4) win over Lucia Bronzetti of Italy, and Navarro cruised past Veronika Kudermetova 6-1, 6-2. No. 11 Elena Rybakina, the 2022 Wimbledon champion, beat Maria Sakkari 6-3, 6-1. In the men's draw, No. 11 Alex de Minaur ousted 115th-ranked Arthur Cazaux 4-6, 6-2, 6-4, 6-0 and 19th-seeded Gregor Dimitrov outlasted Corentin Moutet 7-5, 4-6, 7-5, 7-5. Who plays Friday at the All England Club? Alcaraz, the two-time defending champion, faces 35-year-old Jan-Lennard Struff on Centre Court, before No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka faces British home favorite Emma Raducanu in the late match. Australian Open champion Madison Keys faces Laura Siegemund on No. 2 Court. ___ AP tennis:

Where are line judges at Wimbledon? Why Grand Slam event moved to electronic system
Of the four Grand Slams that take place each year on the tennis calendar, perhaps the most traditional one is Wimbledon at the All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club — it is the oldest of the four, after all. However, the 138th edition of The Championships at Wimbledon has broken away from at least one of its longstanding traditions. If you keep a keen eye on the action at Wimbledon as the tennis ball goes past a player and out of bounds on the grass court surface, you'll notice there are no longer line judges standing near the lines. Here's why the 2025 Wimbledon Championship doesn't have line judges on the courts: Why does Wimbledon not have line judges? A new change to the 2025 Wimbledon Championships was the removal of a line judge and the introduction of an electronic line-calling system. There is still a chair umpire used in the Grand Slam event. 'The decision to introduce live electronic line calling at The Championships was made following a significant period of consideration and consultation,' said Sally Bolton, chief executive of the All England Club, in an October statement. 'Having reviewed the results of the testing undertaken at The Championships this year, we consider the technology to be sufficiently robust and the time is right to take this important step in seeking maximum accuracy in our officiating. For the players, it will offer them the same conditions they have played under at a number of other events on tour. 'We take our responsibility to balance tradition and innovation at Wimbledon very seriously. Line umpires have played a central role in our officiating set-up at The Championships for many decades and we recognize their valuable contribution and thank them for their commitment and service.' As noted by The Associated Press, Wimbledon's decision to go away from a human line judge for this electronic line-calling system isn't a first for Wimbledon and the All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club to use technology. The tournament has used line-calling technology to call whether serves are in or out. Here's what it looks like on the baselines at a Wimbledon this season without line judges: Do any Grand Slams in tennis have line judges? Following Wimbledon's move to electronic line calling, the only Grand Slam event on the tennis schedule that still uses a human line judge is the French Open. "I think we are right to keep our referees and line judges at Roland Garros," French Tennis Federation president Gilles Moretton told ESPN. "For Roland Garros, we want to keep our linesmen as long as the players agree with that." As noted by ESPN, the first Grand Slam that started using an electronic line calling system was the Australian Open in 2021. The U.S. Open then followed a year later.
