Novak Djokovic's 11-year-old son, Stefan, is getting Wimbledon players' autographs. But not Dad's
One valuable signature he's missing? His father's.
Djokovic said after his 1-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 victory over Alex de Minaur in the fourth round Monday that his kid did most of the work himself to gather the names scribbled on the cap.
'It was himself, independently of me, approaching and asking for autographs,' the 24-time Grand Slam champion said. 'I think I might have asked only Jannik (Sinner) or someone, but everyone else he's approached.'
Stefan is even having fun on the court, hitting recently with Flavio Cobolli, the 22nd-seeded Italian who will take on Djokovic in the quarterfinals.
'He's over the moon. Obviously, he loves tennis. Yeah, he has everyone's signature, except mine,' Dad said. 'But that's OK. I'll accept that.'
Djokovic and his wife, Jelena, also have a daughter, 7-year-old Tara, who got attention earlier in the tournament by doing a postmatch dance .

Jessica's nightie dresses in Netflix's 'Too Much' is the PJ inspo we need, this is exactly where to get them
Too Much has now officially landed on Netflix and we're already obsessed with Megan Stalter's character's wardrobe. Specifically, the super cute night dresses she's repeatedly spotted wearing throughout the 10-part series. If you have yet to watch – it literally came out this morning [Thursday 10 July], so no shame if you've been a little busy – the show follows Jessica (played by Stalter, Cosmo UK's latest digital cover star NBD), an American who moves to the UK following a messy breakup. Despite striving for a life of solitude, yet having a romanticised idea in mind of what living in London will be like, she ends up falling for musician Felix (played by Will Sharpe). Written by Lena Dunham and developed alongside her musician husband, Luis Felber, the romantic-comedy series is loosely based on the true story of the American writer and director's own move to the UK, where she met and married Felber. But back to the fashion. As the show's title suggests, Jessica is perceived as a lot by the Brits she encounters, and that extends to her clothing. Consisting of bright neon hues, exaggerated silhouettes and OTT prints (like her floral printed rain mac, an archival Celia B design FYI), her wardrobe also features a number of night dresses from independent British brand, If Only If. As well as the Clover and Pandora dresses, white cotton designs featuring adorable frilled necklines and cuffs, Jessica also dons the India short nightie in a recurrent gingham with the label even making a coordinating nightie for her dog. Unfortunately, the dog nighties aren't currently listed on the site to buy, but we imagine it's only a matter of time. I mean, I want one and I don't even have a dog...£130.00 at If Only If£85.00 at If Only If£135.00 at If Only If 'It's an extraordinary feeling to see the beautiful Meg Stalter in this hugely anticipated show on Netflix wearing one of our nightgowns,' Emily Campbell, Creative Director of If Only If, shares. 'I will always see ourselves as a small, family-run business, so utterly surreal pinch-me moments like this are such a thrill.' And on that note, if you'll excuse me as I have to get back to binge-watching Too Much.

Disused York office block is transformed into art exhibition
A disused office block in the centre of York has been transformed into a street art exhibition. Members of the public can now explore all four floors of the exhibition in Low Ousegate for free. The Vandals at Work street artists group (formerly known as Bombsquad) is behind the exhibition which displays work by more than 30 artists. 'It's the third year in the trilogy – it had to be better than last year,' said Sharon McDonagh, one of the artists taking part and a Vandals at Work Member.

These included local artists and others from as far as the Netherlands. The exhibition is once again raising money for youth homeless charity Safe and Sound Homes (SASH). Sharon said it was a 'real honour' to be working with the charity.

It aims to highlight that not every child has their own bedroom, Sharon said. 'It's a thing that we take for granted so that resonates better with visitors. That's very moving.' Youth homeless figures are displayed on the bedroom's walls, such as SASH providing 67,174 beds in the past five years across its North and East Yorkshire network. Aimée Harding, fundraising officer at SASH (Image: Dylan Connell) 'We want to make an impact and show people the impact of youth homelessness in this area,' said Aimée Harding, fundraising officer at SASH. 'It's [youth homelessness] very hidden but the statistics are shocking." The young people who helped create the bedroom display 'really benefited' from the project, Aimée added. 'They make friends and it boosts their self esteem.' Outside the Vandals at Work street art exhibition in Low Ouesgate, York (Image: Dylan Connell) It also resulted in one of these young people displaying their own artwork at the wider exhibition. Aimée pointed to an artwork by the young person and said: 'To see them from day one to now, their confidence has improved so much. 'They now want to work with us to help fundraise.' The Mayor of York and North Yorkshire, David Skaith, was among those in attendance at the exhibition's launch on Thursday evening (July 10). 'It's an amazing use of an empty space,' he said. 'We have so many artists in York. 'You think it's this old medieval city, but if you scratch beneath the surface there's this incredible art scene. 'We need to do a better job of promoting York as a creative place.'

'We have a job to do more – a lot of the time people don't see their high streets and cities as being a place for them. 'But when you see stuff like this, it's a very much part of the community. It's a very good way to see the work.' The Vandals at Work exhibition takes place in Low Ousegate from 11am to 6pm over the weekends of July 11 to 13, July 18 to 20, and July 25 to 27.

Marcus Rashford's Barcelona move heats up with critical meeting
Manchester United's Marcus Rashford has been linked to a move away from his boyhood side all summer. The 27 year old fell out with Ruben Amorim in December and consequently, spent the second half of the season at Aston Villa. Advertisement No way back Rashford and Villa could not agree to a deal to allow him to stay in Birmingham and he has since returned to United. He has been training away from the main group at Carrington and the club recently gave away his old number 10 to newest recruit Matheus Cunha. Fenerbahce have recently been linked with a move for the wide attacker but Rashford has always made it clear that his dream switch is to FC Barcelona. The Catalans make Rashford main target Problematically for Rashford, la Blaugrana have been chasing Nico Williams and Luis Diaz but with both deals failing to materialise, the England international is now firmly back on the club's agenda. Advertisement Nonetheless, if Barcelona are to sign the player, they will reportedly have to commit to a permanent transfer rather than a loan deal, which they would prefer to do as of now. Meeting progress The Barca Times has reported that club President Laporta, manager Hansi Flick and super-agent Pini Zahavi met in a restaurant in the city last night. Catalan paper Sport also report that in yesterday's 'meeting between Laporta, Hansi Flick and Pini Zahavi, they spoke about Frenkie de Jong's renewal and the signing of Rashford.' Zahavi's presence is important as Rashford recently teamed up with the agent to help facilitate a deal to Barcelona. Advertisement It has been reported in recent days that Barcelona plan to open serious talks imminently for a move for Rashford. United desperate for a sale Frustratingly for fans, United's summer business is at something of an impasse as they are currently struggling to meet Brentford's demands for Bryan Mbeumo. In addition, despite endless negotiations, they have so far been unable to offload any of Antony, Jadon Sancho or Alejandro Garnacho. The permanent sale of Rashford is an absolute must this summer and would do wonders for the club's finances as they hope to add more new signings to Ruben Amorim's squad.
