After the short meet-and-greet, Sinner admitted that he "didn't know what to say" to the young royals during a post-match press conference.
"It's difficult to understand, you know, how you can talk. I always try to talk very natural," Sinner told reporters. "I asked the kids if they play tennis and asked them what kind of racquets they play with, these kinds of things."

"It was amazing. I believe for us tennis players, it's so nice to have them watching us because it makes it even more special," he continued, adding, "it was a very nice moment."
Princess George, who turns 12 next week on July 22, and his sister Charlotte have both attended Wimbledon previously. However, their younger brother, Prince Louis, is yet to make his Wimbledon debut.
The Royal Box at Centre Court is typically off-limits to children; however, an exception has been made more than once for young royals.
Earlier in the day, Princess Kate presented Sinner with the Wimbledon trophy on Centre Court after he beat former champion Carlos Alcaraz.

Surprising NFL Team Getting Its Own Documentary

Surprising NFL Team Getting Its Own Documentary originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Oftentimes, fans, especially the casual ones, forget teams that reach the Super Bowl only to lose within a few years. But sometimes, such teams also get a nostalgic shoutout. Advertisement It is now coming up on a decade since the Carolina Panthers reached Super Bowl 50 thanks to an explosive offense and a talented cast overall. The mercurial Cam Newton was their starting quarterback, and he turned in a career-best effort that resulted in him being named the NFL's regular-season MVP. To honor that team, the Charlotte Observer will be premiering a four-part series on it, as well as a documentary entitled "SUPER MEN: The inside story of the 2015 Carolina Panthers." The documentary will air on July 24 at at Independent Picture House in Charlotte, while the series will be available online starting this coming Monday. This may not be your usual banal series about the NFL. According to an Observer article, both the series and the documentary will be based upon dozens of interviews that were conducted with various players and stars from that Panthers team, as well as coach Ron Rivera. Advertisement That Panthers squad went 15-1 during the regular season and led the entire league in points scored. Newton threw for 3,837 yards and 35 touchdowns, while star tight end Greg Olsen caught 77 passes for 1,104 yards and seven touchdowns.

Middle linebacker Luke Kuechly and cornerback Josh Norman led the way, and it ranked sixth in points and total yards allowed while forcing more turnovers than any other NFL team. The Panthers tore through the early rounds of the playoffs and sank their teeth into the Arizona Cardinals with a 49-15 win in the NFC Championship Game. But in the big game, the Denver Broncos shut down their offense and held them to 10 points in a 14-point defeat as Newton played shaky football. Advertisement That was the final game legendary QB Peyton Manning ever played, and he became the rare great athlete to retire by winning a world championship.

Focus on Gregg Wallace, Glastonbury and Gaza as BBC releases annual report

The BBC is to face questions on Gregg Wallace, its Glastonbury Festival coverage and the Gaza: How To Survive A Warzone documentary as it prepares to release its 2024/2025 annual report. The corporation will highlight its successes over the past year and disclose the pay of its top talent, but focus is likely to be on a storm of stories about the BBC's shows and coverage of live events. It comes after Ofcom announced it would investigate the BBC's Gaza: How To Survive A Warzone documentary after a review found it had breached the corporation's editorial guidelines on accuracy. The regulator said it had examined the BBC report and would be investigating under its broadcasting code, which states factual programmes 'must not materially mislead the audience'. The programme was removed from BBC iPlayer in February after it emerged that the child narrator, Abdullah, is the son of Ayman Alyazouri, who has worked as Hamas's deputy minister of agriculture. An Ofcom spokesperson said: 'Having examined the BBC's findings, we are launching an investigation under our rule which states that factual programmes must not materially mislead the audience.' The review, conducted by Peter Johnston, the director of editorial complaints and reviews, which is independent of BBC News, said the programme was in breach of accuracy for 'failing to disclose information about the child narrator's father's position within the Hamas-run government'. But the review found no other breaches of editorial guidelines, including breaches of impartiality, and also found no evidence that outside interests 'inappropriately impacted on the programme'. The BBC will also face scrutiny after a total of 45 out of the 83 allegations of misconduct made against former MasterChef presenter Wallace during his time on the show were substantiated, including one allegation of 'unwelcome physical contact', in a report following an investigation into his behaviour. On Monday, Wallace's MasterChef co-host John Torode confirmed he had a standalone allegation of racist language upheld in the same report. He said had 'no recollection of the incident' and was 'shocked and saddened' by the allegation in an Instagram post. In November 2024 the show's production company, Banijay UK, announced Wallace would step away from his role on the BBC cooking show while historical allegations of misconduct were investigated. The report concluded that the 'majority of the substantiated allegations against Mr Wallace related to inappropriate sexual language and humour', adding that 'a smaller number of allegations of other inappropriate language and being in a state of undress were also substantiated'. Also expected to be on the agenda is coverage of Glastonbury, which saw the broadcaster livestream a set by punk duo Bob Vylan, during which singer Bobby Vylan, whose real name is reportedly Pascal Robinson-Foster, led crowds in chants of 'death, death to the IDF (Israel Defence Forces)'. Director-general Tim Davie confirmed on Monday that staff at the festival had the authority to cut the stream Avon and Somerset Police have since launched an investigation into the group's set with the BBC issuing an apology for the live stream, and promising to no longer broadcast live acts they deem 'high risk' as they had with Bob Vylan in a pre-festival assessment. The Ipswich-formed duo, who are completed by drummer Bobbie Vylan, are also being investigated by the Met Police for alleged comments in a video of their performance supporting Iggy Pop at Alexandra Palace in May. In the video, Vylan appears to say: 'Death to every single IDF soldier out there as an agent of terror for Israel. Death to the IDF.' According to reports in The Times, the BBC's director of music Lorna Clarke was among a group of senior staff who have stepped back from their day-to-day roles after the broadcaster's decision to show Bob Vylan's set live. The salary of former Match Of The Day host Gary Lineker is expected to be included in the report, after he left his presenting role early following a social media row after he shared a post about Zionism which featured a depiction of a rat, historically an antisemitic insult. Lineker, who issued an unreserved apology, was the BBC's highest-paid presenter until his departure, with the annual report for 2023/24 showing his salary to be to around £1.35 million a year. The presenter will no longer front the BBC's coverage of the 2026 World Cup or the FA Cup next season, with his final appearance on Match Of The Day at the end of the last Premier League season. It comes as it was announced that Mr Davie and BBC chairman Samir Shah will face questions from MPs over the documentary, Wallace, and its Glastonbury coverage. The two will appear before the Culture, Media and Sport Committee on September 9.

BBC's Gaza documentary narrated by Hamas official's teen son violated editorial guidelines, probe finds

A BBC documentary about the Gaza war's effect on children breached editorial guidelines — and is being probed by Britain's media watchdog — for not disclosing that its teen narrator was the son of a Hamas official. 'Gaza: How to Survive a Warzone' breached editorial guidelines on accuracy when it aired in February because narrator Abdullah, 13, is the son of Hyman Alyazouri, deputy minister of agriculture under the terror group, a BBC internal review determined Monday. 4 'Gaza: How to Survive a Warzone' breached editorial guidelines on accuracy when it aired in February, a BBC review determined. BBC 'The review found that the independent production company, Hoyo Films, bears most of the responsibility for the failure,' the broadcaster said Monday, while admitting it also 'bore some responsibility' and should have had more oversight. Three Hoyo Films employees knew of Alyazouri's ties to Hamas, but did not alert the broadcaster before the film aired, according to the BBC review. The film company was asked in writing 'a number of times' about any potential ties Abdullah and his family had to the terrorists, a BBC spokesperson told The Post in March. 4 The film company was asked in writing 'a number of times' about any potential ties Abdullah and his family had to the terrorists. AP Hoyo only made the revelation after the documentary was released, the rep said, adding that the production company allegedly paid the boy's mother a 'limited sum of money.' However, the BBC said its review found no proof 'to support the suggestion that the narrator's father or family influenced the content of the program in any way.' 4 Hoyo only made the revelation after the documentary was released, the rep said. BBC After the BBC released its findings, Britain's Office of Communications, or Ofcom, announced it would conduct its own review 'under our rule which states the factual programs must not mislead the audience.' The investigation comes just two weeks after the BBC aired an antisemitic livestream from punk-rap band Bob Vylan's performance at the Glastonbury Festival on June 28. 4 BBC said its review found no proof 'to support the suggestion that the narrator's father or family influenced the content of the program in any way.' BBC The company, which streams the annual event, later admitted that it should have cut the feed after the London-based duo spewed hateful rhetoric and urged the massive crowd to chant 'Death to the IDF,' in reference to the Israel Defense Forces. The US pulled Bob Vylan's visas after the stunt. The group had a 20-show American tour slated to kick off in October. With Post wires
