Fans Grossed Out By Tennis Star Iga Swiatek's Favorite Meal
Iga Swiatek may have revealed her secret to being one of the best tennis players in the world.
On Saturday night, Swiatek defeated Danielle Collins to punch her ticket to the fourth round at Wimbledon. Although grass is considered her worst surface, she has looked really sharp over the past three matches. Her outlook for the rest of the tournament is really positive considering she's the only major champion left in her half of the draw.

Following her third-round match, Swiatek was asked if she knows what she's going to eat to celebrate her victory over Collins. Let's just say her response was very interesting.
"I don't know yet," Swiatek said. "I have my favorite. It's pasta with strawberries. I ate it as a kid. You guys should try it. It's just great."

A few hours later, Swiatek shared a photo of her enjoying a bowl of pasta and strawberries on Instagram.
Unsurprisingly, fans were a bit grossed out by Swiatek's post-match meal.
"She actually can't be serious," one fan replied.
"I will support every Iga's right and wrong, but strawberry on pasta.. girl," a second fan wrote on X.

"That should be illegal," another fan said.
"That's disgusting," a social media user commented.
Clearly, Swiatek's favorite meal doesn't hurt her performance on the court.
Next up for Swiatek is a showdown with Clara Tauson, who is coming off a straight-sets win over former Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina.
Swiatek is hoping to make it back to the quarterfinals at Wimbledon for just the second time in her career.

First look at Drake Maye connecting with Stefon Diggs for touchdown
The connection between New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye and wide receiver Stefon Diggs is slowly coming together behind the scenes. Multiple players on offense, including Maye and Diggs, linked up ahead of training camp to work out together. The team is determined to get the offense back on track, and they are doubling down on the work outside of the building, given the many new additions to the roster. Diggs, a former four-time Pro Bowler, was present at mandatory minicamp, but he didn't participate in the competitive 11-on-11 team periods. He is still working his way through the torn ACL injury he suffered during his time with the Houston Texans last year. So far, he looks to be ahead of schedule in his recovery, and there's hope that he might even be healed enough to participate in training camp. Diggs and Maye teased their connection on social media with the duo linking up for a touchdown pass in a video clip from the workout, via griffinz_23's Instagram story. The extra work is a sign that the key players on the roster are taking on the responsibility of preparing to the best of their ability. They aren't just looking to show up at training camp and see how everything fits. It's a proactive group that could hold the keys to success for the organization as a whole.

Queen Camilla Brings Out the Tiara After Skipping It at Last Banquet with French President Macron
Queen Camilla is wearing a tiara at Windsor Castle for a glamorous evening. King Charles and Queen Camilla looked regal as they hosted French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife, Brigitte Macron, in Windsor for a state banquet on the first evening of their state visit to the U.K. The Queen, 77, wore an ivory silk and crepe embroidered evening gown by Fiona Clare with sapphire and diamond tiara, necklace, earrings and bracelet that are all part of Queen Elizabeth II's sapphire suite. She also sported her Legion d'Honeur French sash, Garter Star and King Charles' family order. Queen Camilla skipped a tiara when she and King Charles, 76, attended a similar state banquet during their visit to France in September 2023. For the evening at the Palace of Versailles in Paris, the Queen wore a bespoke navy dress by Dior with a matching full-length cape. Despite missing a royal headpiece, she brought some bling by wearing the necklace and bracelet from the King George VI Sapphire Suite. While Queen Elizabeth wore tiaras during visits to France during her reign, the dress code for black tie banquets in the country is a bit more casual than others in recent decades. However, state visits are one of the rare occasions when the British royal family tends to get out their royal headpieces from the vault. The French state banquet came with a unique setting: Windsor Castle. Buckingham Palace in London is the traditional setting for these types of events, but it is currently undergoing refurbishments. The Macrons are also staying at Windsor Castle during their trip. King Charles and President Macron led the royal procession at the event, followed by Queen Camilla and Brigitte walking together. The Prince of Wales and Professor Edith Heard were next in the procession, while the Princess of Wales was next in the lineup alongside Christophe Leribault. Other royal family members in attendance at the state banquet included Prince Edward and Sophie, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, Princess Anne and her husband Sir Timothy Laurence, and the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester. King Charles is expected to give a speech during the banquet, where he is expected to talk about how 'our two countries face a multitude of complex threats, emanating from multiple directions.' 'As friends and as allies, we face them together,' his speech includes. 'These challenges know no borders: no fortress can protect us against them this time. Our two nations share not only values, but also the tireless determination to act on them in the world.' Paying tribute to President Macron's and King Charles' birth years, guests were served Taylor's 1977 Vintage Port and a 1948 Grande Champagne Cognac by Frapin & Co. A cocktail blending British gin and French pastis was also created for the occasion. Flowers from the gardens at Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle were hand-picked and used in the centerpieces. Any flowers that can't be reused will be donated to the charity Floral Angels, of which Queen Camilla is a patron, to be delivered to hospices, elderly care homes, shelters and other locations in the community.

The group then headed to Windsor Castle in a horse-drawn carriage procession, where they had lunch and a special exhibition of items from the Royal Collection. The Macrons will be in the U.K. for their state visit until Thursday. Read the original article on People
