Wimbledon’s first-ever all-Czech women’s final is underway on Centre Court, with Karolina Muchova and Linda Noskova meeting in a showstopping clash to crown a maiden Grand Slam champion. It is the first Grand Slam final between two players from the same nation since the 2017 US Open, and whichever way it swings, Czech tennis is assured of a new major winner by the end of the afternoon.

The exclusive enclosure on Center Court has become as much a part of finals weekend as the tennis itself, with royalty, sporting icons, and household names gathering to witness the closing act of the Championships. Here is a look at who has graced the box to watch Muchova and Noskova battle for the title:
