As the world’s most prestigious tennis tournament, Wimbledon naturally attracts thousands of fans from around the globe each year.

And among those spotted courtside so far this year are several famous faces, as the event welcomes back full crowds of spectators.

On Saturday, a star-studded crowd watched Elena Rybakina from Kazakhstan beat Tunisian player Ons Jabeur at Centre Court, making her the first Kazakh player to win a Grand Slam singles championship.

The Duchess of Cambridge was on hand to present the winner's trophy to Rybakina, after watching the game from the royal box.

Also spotted in the crowd were veteran tennis player Billie Jean King, who won 39 major titles during her career, and Top Gun actor Tom Cruise. Bridgerton star Rege-Jean Page sat next to actor Rami Malek, who attended with his actress girlfriend Lucy Boynton.

On Tuesday, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were in the crowd at Centre Court to watch current world No 1, Serbia's Novak Djokovic, beat Italian player Jannik Sinner, before watching British player Cameron Norrie win against Belgium's David Goffin.

David Beckham has also been spotted courtside during this year’s tournament, watching the women's quarter-final match on Wednesday with his mother, Sandra West. Wimbledon regular Hugh Grant was at the same match alongside his wife, Anna Elisabet Eberstein.

Actor couple Dominic Cooper and Gemma Chan were among the faces in the crowd on day 10 of Wimbledon, while fellow actor Sir Ian McKellen was spotted taking in the action through a pair of binoculars on day eight.

There have also been plenty of famous faces at events held around the tournament, including the Ralph Lauren event with British Vogue, which was attended by celebrities such as Alexa Chung, Sienna Miller, Simone Ashley and Lashana Lynch.

Tips to stay safe during hot weather
  • Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of fluids, especially water. Avoid alcohol and caffeine, which can increase dehydration.
  • Seek cool environments: Use air conditioning, fans, or visit community spaces with climate control.
  • Limit outdoor activities: Avoid strenuous activity during peak heat. If outside, seek shade and wear a wide-brimmed hat.
  • Dress appropriately: Wear lightweight, loose and light-coloured clothing to facilitate heat loss.
  • Check on vulnerable people: Regularly check in on elderly neighbours, young children and those with health conditions.
  • Home adaptations: Use blinds or curtains to block sunlight, avoid using ovens or stoves, and ventilate living spaces during cooler hours.
  • Recognise heat illness: Learn the signs of heat exhaustion and heat stroke (dizziness, confusion, rapid pulse, nausea), and seek medical attention if symptoms occur.
