Wimbledon has reached the crucial semifinal stage in the men’s singles draw. The Centre Court will see four titans battle it out for a place in the final, to be held on Sunday. While local hero Arthur Fery will be taking on Alexander Zverev, Novak Djokovic will be tackling Jannik Sinner in what is expected to be a cracker of a contest. The stands will be sold out for both high-stakes matchups, and the Royal Box will even host several celebrities.

There will be no lack of star power at the Centre Court on Friday. Several celebrities will be present to witness both matches. This includes a mix of prominent sportsmen and some of Britain’s most popular acting talents.
