On Wednesday, Wimbledon’s Centre Court was graced by a star-studded Royal Box, featuring celebrities such as Olivia Rodrigo, John Cena, Dave Grohl, Priyanka Chopra, Nick Jonas, Judd Apatow, Leslie Mann, and Dominic Cooper.
The presence of these luminaries added to the excitement of the matches, with tennis champions Carlos Alcaraz, Aryna Sabalenka, and Briton Emma Raducanu advancing to the third round. Sabalenka admitted she avoided looking at the VIP guests to stay focused, later planning to check social media to see who was present. Raducanu acknowledged the added pressure of performing in front of such notable spectators, trying to stay focused during play.
Among the attendees, Olivia Rodrigo drew particular attention after her recent headlining performance at the Glastonbury Festival. She was seated beside John Cena and mingled with former England soccer coach Roy Hodgson and other notable figures.
The Royal Box remains an invite-only section, renowned for hosting luminaries across entertainment and sports during the prestigious Grand Slam event.
This gathering underscores the enduring appeal of Wimbledon, attracting a diverse array of celebrities who share a passion for tennis and the sport's rich traditions.
