Princess of Wales's parents attend day eight of Wimbledon
Carole and Michael Middleton were seen in the Royal Box of the tennis championships on Monday. Kate, who attended the finals weekend of last year's championships, is the patron of the All England Lawn Tennis Club. Last year, the Princess of Wales presented the Wimbledon men's final trophy to Carlos Alcaraz, in her second public engagement since she announced her cancer diagnosis. Sir Lenny Henry and Lisa Makin on day eight of the 2025 Wimbledon Championships (Jordan Pettitt/PA) Comedians Sir Lenny and McIntyre were also seen on day eight of the championships. Cricketer Sir James Anderson shook hands with Wimbledon veteran Roger Federer in the Royal Box, with Federer's old tennis rival Novak Djokovic in action on day eight. Katie Boulter was also on Centre Court to watch her fiance Alex De Minaur in action against the Serb, as King Frederik X of Denmark and cricketer Joe Root watched on from the Royal Box. Broadcaster Gabby Logan was another famous face spotted at the grounds of the tournament on Monday. Last week, a number of celebrities were spotted at SW19 including Sir David Beckham, Sir Gareth Southgate and Gary Lineker – who were all seen in the Royal Box. US music stars Olivia Rodrigo and Dave Grohl were also among the top celebrity names spotted at Wimbledon, along with adventurer Bear Grylls and actor Rory Kinnear. Paralympic champions packed the Royal Box on day seven of the championships on Sunday. Wheelchair tennis duo Alfie Hewett and Gordon Reid occupied prime front-row positions. Wheelchair racers Hannah Cockroft and Sammi Kinghorn, canoeists Emma Wiggs and Charlotte Henshaw, archer Jodie Grinham and fencer Dimitri Coutya were among the other star names.

Norrie, a semi-finalist in 2022, is only the third British man to reach the last eight more than once in the last 50 years, after Tim Henman and Sir Andy Murray.

Wimbledon overhauls Hawk-Eye to avoid error repeat
Wimbledon Hawk-Eye software at the centre of the electric line-calling failure has been overhauled to ensure there are no more 'human error' mistakes. The technology has been amended urgently so operators can no longer accidentally untick the cameras following the mistake at a crucial stage of the fourth-round match between Sonay Kartal and Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova. During the incident in question, the cameras that monitor the ball on one side appeared to have been switched off with one click without the operator noticing. Intriguing scenes! Pavlyuchenkova thinks Kartal has put her forehand long and stops before the Brit slams back a winner. The umpire checks and confirms the electronic line calling system was unable to track the point, which leads to the point being replayed. #Wimbledon — BBC Sport (@BBCSport) July 6, 2025 The error has left officials 'deeply disappointed' with the failure. But as investigations were launched into the situation, the All England Club has been left certain the technology has been operating flawlessly when it is in operation. Pavlyuchenkova, who would have moved 5-4 ahead had the call been made, was furious with umpire Nico Helwerth for ordering the point to be replayed, accusing him of stealing the game and the tournament of home bias. Organisers apologised to both players. Chief executive Sally Bolton said on Monday: 'It was important for us to to explain as much as we could at that point in time what we believed had happened, and to apologise to the players for it happening in the first place. We're deeply disappointed that this has happened in the Championships. It was a human error. The ball-tracking technology is working effectively.' The system has replaced line judges for the first time this year and such a high-profile error has been hugely embarrassing. Wimbledon is convinced, however, that its technology tweak on Monday has addressed the issue.

Wimbledon star's wife announced divorce after 'impolite' questions from players
Wimbledon star's wife announced divorce after 'impolite' questions from players Anastasia Potapova opened up on her former relationship with fellow pro Alexander Shevchenko earlier this year after queries from other players forced her into action Alexander Shevchenko and Anastasia Potapova divorced in 2024 (Image: Getty ) Tennis star Anastasia Potapova has disclosed how persistent enquiries from fellow professionals within the sport prompted her to speak publicly about her separation from Alexander Shevchenko. Kazakhstani-born player Shevchenko suffered a first-round exit at Wimbledon this year following defeat by American player Reilly Opelka. Potapova pulled out before her opening match of the tournament. The famed event is now in its second week and British star Cameron Norrie has reason to celebrate after reaching the quarter-finals. Emma Raducanu however endured a tough defeat. Yet there is no All England Club joy for 24-year-old Potapova and Shevchenko, 24, who married in December 2023. Their relationship was first made public in 2022, but they parted ways after the US Open in September 2024. The World No. 41 addressed the breakdown at the start of the year, explaining her decision to speak openly about it. "I guess we had problems," she told Bolshe. "Some couples get over these problems, and some don't. Unfortunately, we were one of the couples that didn't." The Russian reflected on how the separation affected her whilst competing at the highest level, with both parties quickly unfollowing each other on social media before announcing their divorce. Article continues below She also revealed how probing questions, whilst acknowledging them as an inevitable consequence of public life, compelled her to address the situaton. Alexander Shevchenko and Anastasia Potapova are now divorced (Image: Getty ) "My team, my close ones, even me, we were all shocked by how mentally strong I could be," Potapova said. "Every other person came to me and asked, 'So what, you two broke up?' "On tour, outside the tour. Of course, it's not really polite, but it's life and people are curious. It's like a TV show for them I think I needed to put an end to it, to end things officially, so I wouldn't get those questions anymore. I think that was the last step I needed to finally set myself free." Discussing her support system, she continued: "I have incredible parents, who understand me the way I am," she said. "They never judge me, never judge my choices, 'Wedding? OK, we'll have a wedding. Divorce? Sad, painful, but how we help you?' "Mum had a great relationship with Sasha [Shevchenko]. I hope she still does. She actually supported both me and Sasha, worked two jobs, so to speak, and I'm grateful to her for it. Article continues below "Despite everything, I clung onto the last bits of my sanity, walked out on the court and played matches, and I wasn't even doing that bad. Of course, this year wasn't as successful as the previous one. But considering the circumstances, this season game me much more than any previous season of my life." She concluded: "I really wish Sasha - I can say it on camera, I'm not ashamed of these words- I really wish him all the best, and he deserves all the best. I wish him all the best with his career, as well, because he's very talented and he has to keep working and developing as a player." Potapova had been hoping to turn around her recent form on the tour, having failed to reach the quarter-finals in any of her previous nine tournaments. However, following her early departure from SW19, she will have to wait a bit longer for any such turnaround.
