Who is in the Wimbledon Royal Box Today? Here are all the stars watching the tennis on Thursday at SW19 on day 11 of competition
There are plenty of well kent faces watching the tennis at Wimbledon today.
Played on grass at London’s All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, in London, this year’s Wimbledon tournament is the 139th time it has taken place (and the 132nd time the ladies’ singles has been played).
Last year saw world number one Jannik Sinner win his first title, preventing Carlos Alcaraz taking home the men’s singles title for a third consecutive year by beating the Spaniard in four sets in the final.
Meanwhile Iga Swiatek beat Amanda Anisimova in the women’s singles final to become the first Polish Wimbledon singles champion in the open era.

They both returned to defend their titles, along with Novak Djokovic, who is looking to add a record 25th grand slam trophy to his groaning mantelpiece.
Both Djokovic and Sinner have safely made it through to the men’s semi-finals (Djokovic after an epic five set battle against Felix Auger Aliassime on Tuesday) but in the women’s singles Swiatek crashed out in the third round, with world number one Aryna Sabalenka beaten by Naomi Osaka on Sunday.
Today’s Centre Court schedule sees both women’s singles semi-finals, with Karolina Muchova taking on Coco Gauff before Marta Kostyuk plays Linda Noskova.
Then there’s the bonus of the mixed doubles final, with second seeds Marcelo Arevalo and Jelena Ostapenko taking on Marc Polmans and Storm Hunter.
