Wimbledon is open The Royal Box is already packed with a star guest list. It consists of sports stars, actors and presenters.
Emma Raducanu and defending men's champion Carlos Alcaraz are the highlights of the opening day of the All England Club, while Andy Murray will decide tonight whether to play singles after undergoing surgery to remove a spinal cyst ahead of the tournament.
The 37-year-old said he was “feeling the news” on Center Court one last time and wanted to “get it over with” before his playing career ended.
Above the mixed crowds, fans can expect to see some famous faces over the next two weeks. Every year, the Royal Box is where celebrity events are held. Just like last year, American musician Ariana Grande thrilled her fans by appearing in the men's singles final without her wedding ring. Last year's men's singles final attracted an A-list crowd comprising Ian McKellen, Nick Jonas, Maggie Smith, Daniel Craig, Andrew Garfield, Stormzy and the Prince and Princess of Wales.
The Royal Box, located in the main grandstand of Center Court, has been an entertainment venue for Wimbledon's friends and guests since 1922 and has 74 private seats. Invitations are sent by the All England Club President, but suggestions can also be made by Championship Organizing Committees and members of the Lawn Tennis Association.
