Celebs sizzled on-court and off, as the Wimbledon 2015 finals kept everyone at the edge of their seats. World number one Novak Djokovic struggled, yet managed to dominate world favourite Roger Federer and win his third Wimbledon title 7-6 (1) 6-7 (10) 6-4 6-3. It was a disappointing end for 33 year old Federer as he lost his bid to become the oldest Wimbledon champion of the Open Era.
Meanwhile, Serena Williams held it high on Centre Court as she claimed her champion's trophy after three years. Her 6-4 6-4 victory over Garbine Muguruza of Spain made her the oldest Wimbledon singles champion of the Open era. With her victory, Williams now holds all four Grand Slam singles titles; the famous 'Serena Slam'. “At the beginning of the year, this is the one I really wanted to win,” Williams said. “So, that was the first thing and the main thing on my mind.” Muguruza was gracious and teary in defeat, becoming particularly emotional when she received a lengthy ovation at the trophy ceremony. “I wondered, ‘Have I made all these people feel what I felt on court?’ ” she said.
A star-studded affair: The Royal Box
As much as everybody had their eyes peeled on the court and its players, the Royal Box was no less of an attraction as it boasted of a miscellany of celebrities flying from all across the world to show their support. From the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince Albert II of Monaco, the Countess of Wessex, Prince Michael to Paula Radcliffe and Sir Matthew Pinsent, Wimbledon was the world's most esteemed tournament.
In the crowds were actor Bradley Cooper, who was seen frequently throughout the tournament, TC host Bear Grylls, Pippa Middleton, Soccer legend David Beckham and English mogul Richard Branson. Oscar winning musician John Legend and wife Chrissy Teigan watched Serena Williams defeat her sister Venus. Game of Thrones actor Kit Harrington appeared well along with soccer player Adam Lallana. Vogue editor Anna Wintour was seen in the Royal Box and, so was Indian Cricket phenomenon Sachin Tendulkar along with his wife, cricketer Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma.
Looking simply dapper his blue suit, Benedict Cumberbatch made a visit with his father. Lewis Hamilton however, missed the show as he was refused to enter the Box without a tie. Also spotted was 'Ram Leela' actress Deepika Padukone with her family.
