Wimbledon is officially in full swing for Day Two, and the court-side glamour is already reaching fever pitch! As the highly anticipated tournament continues its second day, famous faces are beginning to descend upon SW19, bringing their signature style to the iconic grounds.
Among the very first to arrive, making a beeline for Centre Court for another day of incredible tennis, were broadcasting legend Sir Trevor McDonald, tennis matriarch Judy Murray, and Hollywood star Rebel Wilson.

But it was Lady Amelia and Lady Eliza Spencer who truly stole the spotlight in the Emirates x HELLO! suite. The fashionable nieces of Princess Diana joined an exclusive luncheon alongside the likes of Lauren Silverman, Vogue Williams, and Kelly Hoppen.
Guests enjoyed relaxed conversation, gourmet canapés and a front-row glimpse of the day's festivities before the matches began.
Throughout the tournaments, Wimbledon goes through over 50,000 tennis balls! After the first seven games, the balls are replaced and refrigerated to maintain bounce.
2. Strawberries and cream
Tennis and strawberries are never apart throughout Wimbledon, and in fact, they only get the fruit from one supplier. Last year, Hugh Lowe Farm in Kent provided around 1.5 million strawberries over the two-week tournament.
3. Rufus the Hawk
Rufus, the hawk, has been the protector of the Wimbledon courts for the past ten years. He flies above the grounds in the early AM to chase away any pigeons to maintain a pristine court condition.
4. Prize money
The winners of the ladies’ and gentlemen’s singles championships will each receive £2.2 million. Additionally, the winners of every round will also receive money, ranging from £1500 for the winner of the first round of mixed doubles, up to £1.1 million for the runner-up in the final.
5. Longest match in history
In June 2010, John Isner and Nicolas Mahut battled for 11 hours and 5 minutes over three days, with the longest match in professional tennis history. The match totalled 183 games, and John eventually won 70-68.
All appeared to be in great spirits, eagerly anticipating a thrilling day of action as they prepared to watch top players like Jannik Sinner, Iga Świątek, and Coco Gauff take to the courts.
Lady Amelia and Lady Eliza Spencer attended as guests of Emirates, the Official Airline Partner of The Championships. The two socialites looked in sync in their tennis whites.

Lauren Silverman, a guest of Emirates, looked stylish as usual in a chic Ralph Lauren co-ord.
"I love being at Wimbledon," she told HELLO!. "I enjoyed being in the Emirates xHELLO! suite last year so came back for more this year. I missed Emma Raducanu yesterday but so excited to see the action unfold today."

A keen tennis fan and follower, Kelly told HELLO!: "There's something so iconic about hearing the balls batted back and forth. It's such a wonderful place."

When asked what Coco, 17, thought about her mum hosting the music event of the year, Jo said her children are just as seasoned at Glastonbury as she is.
"My kids have gone to Glastonbury and we're really lucky they've gone since they were babies – it's kind of like it's their spiritual home, so I barely see them when I'm there as I'm working all the time,' she said.
