While Wimbledon 2023 goes on in full swing, the recent quarterfinals have seen an interesting mix of attendees from the world of Royals, glamor, and sports. Among them was the Formula 1 rookie, Oscar Piastri, who attended the high-octane event along with his girlfriend, Lily Zneimer celebrating a 146-year-old tradition at Wimbledon. Meanwhile, the tennis action heated up as Carlos Alcaraz prepares to face Daniil Medvedev in the highly-anticipated Wimbledon semifinals.

The quarterfinals had some intense moments as Spanish star Carlos Alcaraz powered through to the Wimbledon semifinals after beating Holger Rune in straight sets, leading Alcaraz currently world No1 to stay on track for a potential Novak Djokovic final. Daniil Medvedev managed to knock out Chris Eubanks despite receiving a shocking code violation. While Oscar Piastri and Lily Zneimer celebrated their presence at Wimbledon, they also honored a tradition that has endured for 146 years.

Oscar Piastri’s attendance at Wimbledon, marked by his social media post captioned “F1P4 -> SW19 🍓🎾 Awesome day at Wimbledon.”

Wimbledon has become synonymous with strawberries and cream, a delectable dessert that has gained immense popularity during the tournament. The strawberry emoji in Piastri’s post is a nod to this iconic ritual. The tradition came about simply because strawberries were in season during the tournament in Victorian England. However, over the years, it has grown to be an integral part of Wimbledon’s allure, just as much as the matches themselves. Approximately 10,000 liters of cream and 28,000 kilograms of strawberries are consumed each year at the All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club, making it an integral part of the Wimbledon experience.

While Carlos Alcaraz continues to impress at Wimbledon, a recent “spy-gate” controversy surrounding his father filming Novak Djokovic’s practice session has caused a stir.

Spy-Gate Controversy Surrounding Carlos Alcaraz’s Father

Following Carlos Alcaraz’s impressive victory over Holger Rune in the Wimbledon quarterfinals, reports emerged regarding his father allegedly filming Novak Djokovic’s practice session at Aorangi Park. The Serbian press had brought attention to the matter, prompting questions about any foundation for the allegations.

When questioned about the allegations, Alcaraz initially seemed unsure of the question’s intent. However, he candidly admitted that it was likely true that his father had filmed Djokovic’s practice. Alcaraz clarified that his father is an avid tennis fan who spends extensive hours at the club, observing matches and practices of various players. While acknowledging the filming, Alcaraz emphasized that he does not consider it an advantage, given the abundance of publicly available videos showcasing Djokovic’s practice sessions.
