But the Princess of Wales did not want young Louis to be "upset" after he missed out on the game. Sinner scored a triumphant win over the two-time consecutive Wimbledon winner, Carlos Alcaraz, yesterday. Following the game, Kate could be seen kindly asking Sinner to sign a ball for her youngest son so "he doesn't get upset". George and Charlotte, who are both avid tennis fans, were also there to meet the new Wimbledon champion and shook hands him. All of the royal children are said to enjoy tennis, including Prince Louis, and have inherited the porty prowess of their mother. Sinner, 23, told them it was "very nice to meet you", before signing three tennis balls for the kids. As a loving gesture, the mother-of-three said: "We're taking one for their brother." William chimed: "Louis will be upset otherwise." George gave a polite thank you to Sinner, before his mother said "huge congratulations" and shook his hand. Kate Middleton hands over Wimbledon trophy to Jannik Sinner after Italian triumphs in tennis final The Princess of Wales had also handed the tennis number one his trophy right after the four-set match concluded on court. Italy's Sinner was awarded the silver-gilt trophy for his 4-6 6-4 6-4 6-4 win against the 22-year-old Spaniard. Kate was wearing a sleek royal blue dress, with a necklace that had a 9ct gold pendant and gemstones from Daniella Draper. She still kept Louis close with this £3000 pendant, as the gemstones are the birthstone for April, the month the young Prince was born. Louis was also gifted some "priceless" trainers from another Wimbledon legend a few years ago. American tennis legend, Stan Smith, gave the Duchess of Cambridge a signed trainer during the Wimbledon tennis championships in 2019. The Adidas trainer was signed "To Louis", along with his signature. The Princess has also been the patron of the All England Lawn and Tennis Club (AELTC) since 2016. Attached to her dress, she wore her green and purple "Wimbledon" bow, paying homage to the tournament and it's iconic colours. It is also a symbol of royal patronage, that was gifted to her from Queen Elizabeth II. Kate was also captured in a moving moment while speaking to a "brave" 11-year-old cancer patient on Sunday. She shook hands with the young boy, Ambrose Caldecott, before he performed the ceremonial coin toss. The Princess of Wales' parents, Carole and Michael Middleton, were also seen at Wimbledon on Monday, with the Duchess of Edinburgh and the Duchess of Gloucester also in attendance. 7 The Princess of Wales presented the winners trophy to Jannik Sinner after the game Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 7 She looked radiant in a blue dress as she arrived at the All England Club for the second consecutive day Credit: AP

Donald Trump suggests renaming football after Club World Cup controversy
Donald Trump attended the Club World Cup final at MetLife Stadium and caused controversy as he refused to leave the stage after presenting Chelsea captain Reece James with the trophy Donald Trump has joked about signing an executive order to get "soccer" renamed as "football" in America after he caused controversy at the Club World Cup final. Trump was in attendance at MetLife Stadium as Chelsea beat Paris Saint-Germain 3-0 to win the first edition of the revamped tournament. And the US president conducted an interview with broadcaster DAZN where he hailed the tournament and FIFA president Gianni Infantino. "Gianni is a friend of mine, he's done such a great job with the league and with soccer - or as they would call it 'football', but I guess we call it soccer. "I'm not sure that change could be made very easily. But it's great to watch - and this is a little bit of an upset that we're watching today, isn't it?" However, when it was put to him that he could sign an executive order making that change, Trump replied: "I think we could do that. I think I could do that." Trump also gatecrashed Chelsea's celebrations, refusing to leave the stage after he handed the trophy to Blues captain Reece James. Even Infantino attempted to get Trump to move out of the way, but he remained while James hoisted the trophy aloft.

"He just congratulated me and the team for lifting the trophy and told us to enjoy the moment." Cole Palmer, who scored a brace and assisted Joao Pedro in the final, added: "I knew he was going to be here but I didn't know he was going to be on the stand when we lifted the trophy. I was a bit confused, yeah." Trump also claimed after the game that the original Club World Cup trophy will remain at the White House, stating: "[FIFA] is doing fantastically well for [football in America], it's a growing sport, it is a great sport. "They said: 'Could you hold this trophy for a little while?' We put it in the Oval Office and then I said: 'When are you going to pick up the trophy?' "And he [Infantino] said: 'We're never going to pick it up, you can have it forever in the Oval Office.' And they actually made a new one, but right now [the original] is in the Oval."

Carlos Alcaraz told how many Grand Slams he's guaranteed after Wimbledon defeat
Jannik Sinner claimed his fourth Grand Slam title by beating Carlos Alcaraz in the Wimbledon final, with the Italian ending the Spaniard's winning streak in major finals Andy Roddick says he's changed his mind about Carlos Alcaraz following the Spaniard's loss to Jannik Sinner in the Wimbledon final. The reigning champion was comprehensively beaten on Centre Court as Sinner secured his fourth major championship - and his maiden title at the All England Club. Although Alcaraz claimed the opening set 6-4, Sinner surged ahead to win the following three sets by the same margin, becoming the first Italian ever to win a Wimbledon singles title. In contrast to his dramatic five-set triumph over Sinner in last month's French Open final, Alcaraz was unable to deliver one of the dramatic comebacks that have become his signature in high-stakes matches. Still, despite the loss, the 22-year-old's performance was impressive enough to cause Roddick - who reached the Wimbledon final three times - to re-evaluate his stance. "I remember being at the US Open the first year that Alcaraz won [2022]. Going into the quarters, the hype machine was rightfully just out of control," the American recalled on his Quick Served podcast. "People were coming up to me going like, 'Is this guy going to win 10 majors?' And they would say it and I'm thinking like, 'Man, [Bjorn] Borg won 11 majors. Are we just going to hand this kid 10 majors nonchalantly? I have a hard time doing that'. "If you told me he's going to win majors, I'm like yeah, he's going to win majors. But throwing out 10, you know, 12. Is he going to match the 'Big Three' [ Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer ]? I'm going, 'That's crazy'... [but it's] easier to sit here now and say, you know what, he's going to win 10 majors!" Since turning professional four years ago, Alcaraz has accumulated titles at an extraordinary rate. With five majors already under his belt - one-quarter of Federer's career haul - he's on a path that, if sustained, could see him beat Djokovic's historic mark of 24 Slams before hitting his mid-30s. That said, Sinner's emergence - and his relentless recent form - might put a spanner in the works. The 23-year-old handed Alcaraz his first loss in a Grand Slam final and has now taken home four of the last seven major trophies, placing him firmly alongside Alcaraz as a dominant force in the sport. Yet fans yearning for a heated, old-school rivalry in the mould of John McEnroe and Jimmy Connors might be disappointed, with both players displaying mutual admiration and respect following their clash. "I would like to start with Carlos, again, amazing tournament but mostly thank you for the player you are," Sinner said in his post-match speech. "It's so difficult to play against you but we have, as you said, an amazing relationship off the court, and on the court we just try to build up and for doing that we need the best teams in the world and also you have the best team. So keep going, keep pushing, you are going to hold many, many times this trophy, you have already two, so!" Alcaraz echoed those feelings, emphasising their strong connection despite the fierce battles they've shared. "Every time we play each other, I think our level is really high," he said. "We don't see a level like this. I don't see any player playing against each other having the level we're playing when we face each other. "This rivalry, it's becoming better and better. We're playing in the finals of Grand Slams, finals of Masters and the best tournaments in the world. It's going to get better. "I'm just really grateful for that because it gives me the opportunity to just give my 100 per cent every practice, every day, just to be better. The level that I have to maintain and I have to raise if I want to beat Jannik is really high."
