Nearly a third of Americans think they could pass as British
Nearly a third of Americans think they could pass as British, based on their knowledge of UK culture. While 27 percent felt somewhat confident they can nail the British accent, 26 percent admitted they regularly struggle to understand it. This week, they were put to the test when former tennis player and Wimbledon veteran John Isner brought the flavor of The Championships to New York, in a food truck serving strawberries and cream mini cheesecakes. 5 Former tennis player and Wimbledon veteran John Isner brought the flavor of The Championships to New York with a Junior's Cheesecake food truck serving strawberries and cream mini cheesecakes. SWNS 5 27 percent of Americans felt somewhat confident they can do a British accent, but 26 percent admitted they regularly struggle to understand it. SWNS The hilarious clip shows the former-professional attempting his own version of an English accent, with mixed results. He said: 'When it comes to the Brits, Americans across the country feel like they know a thing or two about UK culture, and today I'm 'full of beans' and asking New York City, if they fancy trying a British twist on a New York classic.' The study of 2,000 Americans showed 68 percent have never travelled across the Atlantic, with the main reason people gave to not being able to cross the pond in the future was expense (45 percent). The research was commissioned by The All England Lawn Tennis Club, which stages The Championships, Wimbledon, and is screening the matches from finals weekend at The Hill in New York, in Brooklyn Bridge Park this weekend (July 11 – 13) and has also collaborated with Junior's Cheesecake in the lead-up to the event. Former US tennis player John Isner, who hit the streets of New York in the build up to the event to find out if the locals can walk the walk and talk the talk when it comes to being British, said: 'It's been fantastic to bring a slice of British summer to Manhattan ahead of the finals this weekend.' 5 Isner took to the streets of New York to quiz locals on British culture. SWNS Of those polled, given the chance to catch a flight to watch a sporting event live in the UK, almost a quarter (24 percent) would want to watch The Championships at Wimbledon. As 60 percent believe the tennis tournament is a unique Grand Slam, according to the data. Putting the atmosphere (50 percent), the fact it's played on grass (46 percent) and its charm (36 percent) all among the top reasons why they feel it's special. 5 'As someone who has many fond memories of playing at Wimbledon, I can attest to just how special the atmosphere of The Championships is,' Isner said. SWNS 5 'We are looking forward to once again bringing the action, charm and the strawberries and cream from SW19 to the Hill in New York this summer,' a spokesperson for The All-England Lawn Tennis Club said. SWNS Not to mention the 30 percent who thought the food on offer, with its iconic strawberries and cream was a draw. John continued, 'As someone who has many fond memories of playing at Wimbledon, I can attest to just how special the atmosphere of The Championships is. 'It's brilliant that New Yorkers will have the chance to experience this magic right here in their own city, at Brooklyn Bridge Park this weekend.' A spokesperson for The All-England Lawn Tennis Club added: 'We are looking forward to once again bringing the action, charm and the strawberries and cream from SW19 to the Hill in New York this summer. 'With so many Americans wanting to watch the Championships, but have never been, we are pleased to bring the atmosphere and quintessential Britishness of the event to tennis fans in New York.'

Wimbledon's best dressed celebs - and the viral trends they served
Wimbledon 2025 has seen celebrities and royals alike flock to The All England Lawn Tennis Club to watch the tennis - and they've all brought their A-game when it comes to style Wimbledon 2025 isn't just about the tennis; it's a fashion showcase courtside. Gone are the days of playing it safe with understated luxury defined by demure dresses and the odd fascinator. This year's tournament has seen a sartorial update into bolder territory. "Wimbledon has turned the stands into a catwalk, and I am here for it," declares model and presenter Leomie Anderson, who is bringing her style expertise to Wimbledon as Clearpay's fashion ambassador this season. "There's a real shift happening," according to Anderson, "people used to play it safe with blazers, midi dresses, the usual suspects. But this year, the crowd is serving. It's like everyone got the memo that Wimbledon is just as much a style moment as it is a sport." The trend data from Clearpay confirms this transformation: broderie analgise is on the rise – maxi dresses have soared by 147%, skirts by 33% – while hats are enjoying a high-fashion comeback, with floppy styles up 99%. The butter yellow trend is also still on the up. Celebrity outfits at Wimbledon have struck a fine balance between personal flair and playful homage to the event's classic motifs – whether it's crisp Wimbledon whites or the iconic strawberries and cream. "There's something powerful about its simplicity, the traditions – the setting, the subtlety," Anderson observes. "People know they have to bring their A-game." Here's a look at some of the best-dressed celebs who've nailed the Wimbledon fashion game so far. Olivia Rodrigo In a masterful mix of tradition and trend, the singer Olivia Rodrigo donned a Ralph Lauren red gingham shirt dress from the brand's spring/summer 2000 collection – an homage to Wimbledon's signature strawberries and cream. Her boyfriend, Louis Partridge complemented her style in a navy blazer accented with a red striped tie. Fresh from her headline act at Glastonbury Festival on Sunday, Rodrigo achieved a flawless blend of British heritage and Gen Z edginess that few can pull off. Cate Blanchett Actress Cate Blanchett captivated spectators at Centre Court wearing a sublime pearlescent Prince of Wales check suit by Giorgio Armani. The suit was impeccably tailored yet soft in hue, embodying a classic Blanchett move of effectively - yet subtly - commanding attention. "Cate's baby blue tartan suit was effortless and elegant," Anderson remarks, "that classic tailoring is signature Cate cool." Leslie Mann The perennial choice of Wimbledon whites remains a foolproof fashion statement year on year. Despite the potential risk of monotony, when executed with innovative cuts and styling, whites maintain an ageless elegance. Actress Leslie Mann appeared on day three in an ivory Dior bar jacket paired with a dainty lace skirt, a look that echoed the recent Self Portrait ensemble worn by the Princess of Wales at the Order of the Garter in June. David Beckham A sight more predictable than spotting a cream Panama hat in the Wimbledon stands is catching a glimpse of David Beckham. The ex-footballer once again showcased off-court sophistication in a cream silk-linen suit from his own Boss collaboration, complemented by a chocolate brown tie. The only fashion faux pas was a plaster cast on his right arm. Dominic Cooper In contrast to Beckham, actor Dominic Cooper shunned the traditional Wimbledon attire and donned a vibrant powder blue suit with matching trainers. He demonstrated that co-ordination doesn't have to be rigid – and tonal can make a statement when executed correctly. "I'm seeing bold colour choices [...] and people leaning into what makes their style unique," Anderson commented on the look. Tom Daley Olympic diver Tom Daley opted for a dusky teal shade – cool, modern, and a refreshing departure from the typical Wimbledon white. Daley teamed the Paul Smith suit with a Christian Louboutin clutch and a Chopard watch. Sarah Lancashire and Peter Salmon Happy Valley actress Sarah Lancashire opted for a more traditional Wimbledon look, teaming up with Mann in crisp whites. Her outfit consisted of an embroidered cream dress and a stylish linen blazer. Accompanied by television producer Peter Salmon, who wore a dashing deep blue suit, the pair presented a tasteful Wimbledon-inspired palette that was both classic and elegant. Rebel Wilson One of Anderson's standout looks of the tournament was Rebel Wilson 's stunning pink broderie anglaise Temperley London dress. The actress completed her look with a pair of neutral Gianvito Rossi sandals. "Broderie is having a major moment [...] Rebel Wilson in that pink broderie anglaise dress on Day 1 was perfection," Anderson remarks. Eddie Redmayne and Hannah Bagshawe Actor Eddie Redmayne opted for a classic cream linen suit, while his wife Hannah made a statement in a striking red polka-dot Alessandra Rich shirt dress.

Lloyd Harris 'trending in the right direction' for deep run at Wimbledon
Despite a challenging year out due to recovering from major back surgery, South Africa's Lloyd Harris is feeling buoyant, excited and ready for a deep run at Wimbledon 2025. On the Sunday before The Championships, a relaxed Harris spoke with Amisha Savani at The All England Lawn Tennis Club, Wimbledon. This year, Harris did not need to qualify to enter the main draw due a couple of player withdrawals and thanks to his protected ranking. Protected ranking is a system that helps players who have been injured for at least six months to re-enter the tour at a higher level than their current ranking allows. The protection is based on Harris's average ranking during the first three months of his injury. This enabled Harris to enter the main draw despite his current world No 320 ranking. The South African star spoke of missing out on eight months of tennis due to recovering from back surgery, saying that 'it was not the easiest thing to come back from'. However, he felt positive, 'feeling very healthy and good now so you know it's trending in the right direction so I'm excited to compete again and on the main stage'. Harris spoke of his grass season preparation, having played in some warm-up Challenger events across the UK. On his Wimbledon hopes, he was 'feeling healthy and good and trending in the right direction, and excited to compete again on the main stage'. He spoke about it being busy week of preparing his body: 'It was a great preparation week and the team is happy and everything'. The Championships, Wimbledon began on Monday, 30 June.
