As a devoted fan, I’ve hastened my steps away from my usual ITV program and towards the prestigious All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club, joining Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard for the fourth day of Wimbledon on this thrilling Thursday.

The cat donned a vibrant floral dress fitting for the Centre Court sunlight, striking a pose alongside its well-dressed counterpart.

Simultaneously, survival expert Bear Grylls, known for his television shows, joined his wife Shara in the Royal Box, as they both watched the match unfold at Centre Court.

As a dedicated follower, I’ll be among the Center Court spectators cheering for Jack Draper as he faces off against 2017 Wimbledon finalist Marin Cilic. Additionally, I’ll be there to support Dan Evans in his match against Novak Djokovic.

Today, the fourth-ranked player globally, Draper, faces off against 2017 Wimbledon finalist Marin Cilic in their match this afternoon. He aims to advance beyond the second round at SW19 for the first time.

As a die-hard fan, I can’t hide my excitement! The world’s top tennis star, Jannik Sinner, is once again stealing the show, squaring off against Aleksandar Vukic. Meanwhile, on the same court, Iga Swiatek faces Caty McNally in a fierce battle. The anticipation is electrifying!

Judy Murray has shared insights about the exclusive atmosphere of the Royal Box during Wimbledon, with more celebrities pouring in for the tournament.

At the SW19 location, there are 18 tennis courts designed for championships, but it’s usually the historic Centre Court that garners the most attention. This is where the sport’s top performers take center stage as they strive for victory and acclaim.

The Centre Court accommodates approximately 14,900 spectators, allowing fortunate fans to root for their favorites throughout the day, with notable guests filling the Royal Box during lunchtime every day.

This week so far has seen appearances by John Cena, Thomas Tuchel, and Olivia Rodrigo, all contributing to an illustrious gathering slated for The Box on Wednesday.

On a Tuesday, Murray, well-known for her coaching contributions in sports and her backing of tennis players Andy and Jamie, graced an appearance. Prior to her journey, she shared insights about her experiences in the Royal Box during an interview on The Chris Evans Breakfast Show with The National Lottery on Virgin Radio UK.

‘Royal Boxing should be a verb, shouldn’t it?’ she said.’ It should be a summer verb.’

She mentioned that you typically show up around 11:30, so after that, you ascend to a floor where there’s a champagne gathering. Following this, you proceed for lunch, and who you sit next to during lunch is unpredictable since there isn’t a seating chart; it’s simply a matter of choosing a seat as you enter the room.

The All England Club’s clubhouse is where I found myself once, and as a first-timer, I naturally brought my mom along. We shared a seat with golf legend Jack Nicklaus that day. A few years back, I conversed with a woman who was history’s first female Spitfire pilot – the people you meet are just captivating, and it could be anyone! The stories are nothing short of fascinating.

‘It’s really tough when the sun comes round because there’s no escape. 

Men seem to face stricter dress codes, as they must keep on their jackets and ties at all times, even if they can’t remove them unless the royals in the box do so first. This is part of the established etiquette.
