Hugh Grant falls asleep at Wimbledon tennis match while seated behind Queen Camilla
Hugh Grant saw an opportunity for a snooze and he took it. While attending the 2025 Wimbledon Championships on Wednesday, the British actor - who was accompanied by his wife, Anna Eberstein - seemingly took a nap during the men's singles quarter-final match between Novak Djokovic and Flavio Cobolli, according to multiple videos and photos shared on X. The moment quickly went viral as Grant - who was donning a stylish pair of shades and wearing a dark blue suit - was seated directly behind Queen Camilla. HUGH GRANT BLASTS HIS CHILDREN'S 'POSH PRIVATE SCHOOLS' FOR 'PATHETIC' RULES "Not convinced Hugh Grant is awake," one viewer wrote on X. "Can someone check on him as he's a National treasure." "Fell asleep in front of the entire UK like it was nothing," another person penned. "Hugh Grant dozing off at Wimbledon is such a classic moment — even the thrill of Centre Court couldn't keep him awake through the match!" another wrote. LIKE WHAT YOU'RE READING?

"That's why I try and stay with my eyes on the court as much as possible. Only after, you kind of look up and take it all in, if they're still there."

Venus Williams returns to tennis with a new perspective, victory. 'It's just nice to be able to play'
Venus and Serena Williams were a pretty decent doubles team over the years. The sisters from Compton won 14 majors and three Olympic gold medals as a duo. But it turns out that the older sister was being held back by her younger sibling — at least that's what Venus Williams joked on Monday after winning her first match with new doubles partner Hailey Baptiste during the first round of the D.C. Open. 'I think, from the first point, I could see that we were going to be a good team," Williams said during her on-court interview following the American duo's 6-3, 6-1 victory against Eugenie Bouchard and Clervie Ngounoue. "We just should have started playing earlier, years ago, right? I think Serena was just in the way.' After the capacity crowd of around 3,000 roared with laughter at the quip, Williams smiled and waved to the camera: "Sorry, Serena." Read more: I completed my years-long quest to play at every L.A. tennis court. These 10 stand out Williams, 45, had every right to be giddy after a successful return to the court following a 16-month hiatus, during which she underwent a medical procedure to remove fibroids from her uterus last July. 'It's just nice to be able to play," Williams said during her postmatch news conference with Baptiste. "Where I am at this year is so much different than where I was at last year. It's night and day, being able to be here and prepare for the tournament as opposed to preparing for surgery a year ago.' She added: "Tennis is a game. It's our life. It's literally our obsession. ... But at the end of the day, it doesn't really matter if your health is not there. So it definitely put it in perspective for me and maybe made it easier to make the decision to maybe come back out here and maybe play even freer.' Williams' comeback is just getting started. The seven-time major winner and one-time Olympic gold medalist is scheduled to face Peyton Stearns of the United States in the first round of the women's singles tournament at 4:30 p.m. PDT Tuesday. Read more: A 'floating' tennis club with good vibes and a pinch of country club swagger? These Angelenos created it Later this week, Williams and Baptiste will face the winner of Tuesday's match between Cristina Bucsa/Nicole Melichar-Martinez and Taylor Townsend/Shuai Zhang in the women's doubles quarterfinals. As for Serena Williams, the 23-time major singles champion hasn't played since "evolving away from tennis" following the 2022 U.S. Open, where she and Venus lost in the first round in doubles and she advanced to the third round in singles before losing to Australian Ajla Tomljanovic in her final match. 'I keep saying to my team: The only thing that would make this better is if she was here," Venus Williams said of her sister while speaking to reporters Sunday. "Like, we always did everything together, so of course I miss her.' The Associated Press contributed to this report.
