Kate Middleton Makes Joyful Appearance at Wimbledon Sitting Next to Tennis Legend Billie Jean King

Yahoo13-07-2025
Catherine, Princess of Wales, arrived at Wimbledon to a standing ovation, marking a notable public appearance after announcing her remission from cancer.
The former Kate Middleton attended the women's final on Saturday, July 12, to watch the matchup between Amanda Anisimova and Iga Swiatek.
At the event, she donned a cream-colored set, which included a short-sleeved belted jacket top paired with a tea-length pleated skirt and nude heels.
During the women's final, she was seated in the royal box at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club next to tennis legend Billie Jean King.
The women's final match ended in defeat for Anisimova, who was bested 6-0, 6-0 by Swiatek, marking her sixth Grand Slam title.
After the win, Kate, who has been the patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club since 2016, presented Swiatek with the women's singles trophy on the court.
Last year, Kate attended the men's singles final alongside daughter Princess Charlotte in July 2024, which marked only her second public appearance after announcing her cancer diagnosis in March of that year.
Her attendance was widely celebrated, with Kate receiving a round of applause as well as a standing ovation as she made her way to the royal box.
Over the last year and a half, Kate has faced several public health issues, including undergoing 'planned abdominal surgery' in January 2024. Months later in March 2024, Kate announced in a video statement that she was diagnosed with cancer and was in the 'early stages' of undergoing preventive chemotherapy.
Kate announced in September 2024 that she had completed her chemotherapy treatment and would return to making more public appearances. At the time, she said, 'Life as you know it can change in an instant and we have had to find a way to navigate the stormy waters and road unknown.'
It was announced in January this year that Kate's cancer was in remission. In a statement shared to social media at the time, the royal called the news 'a relief,' noting that she now would 'remain focused on recovery.'
Earlier this month, Kate gave rare comments about her experience with cancer at a hospital in Essex, England. Per video from BBC, Kate told patients, 'You put on a sort of brave face (with) stoicism through treatment. (When) treatment's done, then it's like, 'I can crack on, get back to normal again.''
Kate noted that going back to normal after completing treatment isn't always the reality for many patients, adding, 'But actually the phase afterwards is really difficult. You're not necessarily under the clinical team any longer, but you're not able to function normally at home as you perhaps once used to.'
'You have to find your new normal and that takes time,' she said.

🚨 Official: Arsenal land one of Europe's top strikers

The end of a long saga! It's now official, after long weeks of negotiations, Viktor Gyökeres is finally an Arsenal player. The London club reportedly spent around 74 million euros to secure the services of one of the most prominent strikers in the world of football. Having had to cope without a leading striker for many months, the Gunners have suddenly added a forward with exceptional credentials. In 102 matches with Sporting, the Swede scored 97 goals and provided 27 assists. This addition to Arsenal's squad follows the arrivals of Martin Zubimendi, Christian Norgaard, Noni Madueke, and Christhian Mosquera. Do you think Arsenal is now one of the favorites for the title?

🚨 BREAKING: Arsenal sign Sporting and Sweden star Viktor Gyökeres

Arsenal have confirmed the €73.5M arrival of Sporting CP centre-forward Viktor Gyökeres. The deal for the strilker will see Arsenal reportedly pay Sporting €63.5M up front, with a further €10m achievable in add-ons. The Gunners have long been after a new striker and have now got their man in the form of the 27-year-old, who scored a mammoth 54 goals for Sporting last season, including 39 in the league. Gyökeres led Sporting to consecutive league titles in his two seasons in Lisbon, scoring a total of 97 goals in 102 appearances for the club. In a protracted transfer drama that also involved RB Leipzig ace Benjamin Šeško, Gyökeres adds his name to a growing list of reinforcements in north London this summer. Real Sociedad's Martin Zubimendi, Brentford's Christian Nørgaard, and Chelsea's Kepa Arrizabalaga have also arrived as the Gunners look to go one better than the last three Premier League campaigns, which have all seen them end the season as runners-up. 📸 PATRICIA DE MELO MOREIRA - AFP or licensors

Padraig Harrington leads Justin Leonard by 2 shots at Senior British Open

BERKSHIRE, England (AP) — Padraig Harrington birdied the final hole Saturday for another 5-under 65 for a two-shot lead over Justin Leonard going into the final round of the Senior British Open as the Irishman goes for his second senior major of the year. Harrington was among four players who had at least a share of the lead at some point during the round on the Old Course at Sunningdale. He seized the lead with birdies on the 13th and 14th hole, and a closing birdie added to his slight lead. Harrington was at 13-under 197. He has been in the United Kingdom the last three weeks for links golf, starting with the Scottish Open. He won the U.S. Senior Open in Colorado a month ago. Leonard, the only PGA Tour Champions player to make the cut last week in the British Open at Royal Portrush, also had a second straight 65. Thomas Bjorn had a 67 and was three shots behind. Harrington and Leonard are past British Open champions — Leonard at Royal Troon in 1997, Harrington winning the first of two claret jugs a decade later at Carnoustie (2007) and Royal Birkdale (2008). Either one can become the fifth player to win the British Open and Senior British Open, a feat last accomplished by Darren Clarke in 2022. Steven Alker, a two-time Charles Schwab Cup winner who opened with a 73, tried to get back in the game. He shot 66 and was among four players at 8-under 202, five shots behind. The winner is exempt for the 154th British Open next year at Royal Birkdale. ___ AP golf:
