What is the Champions' Dinner?
The Champions' Dinner at Wimbledon is an exclusive, celebratory event held to honour the winners of the tournament. It is traditionally held on the evening of the final Sunday, after the men's singles final, that is, at the end of the tournament.
The Champions' Dinner is a fairly new tradition that was started in 1977. According to a report in Tatler, it is a black tie event, which means that attendees are expected to wear formals.

Venus Williams, Amanda Anisimova are among the players added to US Open mixed doubles list
Venus Williams is paired with Reilly Opelka, and Wimbledon runner-up Amanda Anisimova is joined by Holger Rune on Monday's updated list of teams that have signed up to try to enter the newfangled U.S. Open mixed doubles tournament next month. A total of 25 duos are on the latest entry list released by the U.S. Tennis Association. Only 16 will make the field for the Aug. 19-20 competition that will pay the winning team USD 1 million. The deadline for entries is a week away. That's when the eight duos with the highest combined singles rankings will gain official acceptance for the event. The USTA will select the other eight teams and give them wild-card invitations. The mixed doubles was moved to the week before the start of competition in the singles brackets. Singles matches begin on Aug. 24. In addition to Williams, a seven-time Grand Slam singles champion who is 45 and entered the tournament in Washington this week for her first competition in more than a year, with Opelka, and Anisimova with Rune, other new teammates announced Monday include Katie Boulter and Alex De Minaur, who are engaged to be married; Donna Vekic and Hubert Hurkacz; Karolina Muchova and Andrey Rublev; Iva Jovic and Jenson Brooksby; Gaby Dabrowski and Felix Auger-Aliassime; Demi Schuurs and Tallon Griekspoor; Katerina Siniakova and Marcelo Arevalo; Desirae Krawczyk and Evan King; and Su-Wei Hsieh and Jan Zielinski. The original group of potential participants was released last month and included Emma Raducanu and Carlos Alcaraz; Emma Navarro and Jannik Sinner; Iga Swiatek and Casper Ruud; Jasmine Paolini and Lorenzo Musetti; Elena Rybakina and Taylor Fritz; Belinda Bencic and Alexander Zverev; Mirra Andreeva and Daniil Medvedev; Madison Keys and Frances Tiafoe; Jessica Pegula and Tommy Paul; Aryna Sabalenka and Grigor Dimitrov; Olga Danilovic and Novak Djokovic; Naomi Osaka and Nick Kyrgios; Taylor Townsend and Ben Shelton; and last year's U.S. Open mixed doubles champions, Sara Errani and Andrea Vavassori. It's a star-studded cast that is quite different from the mix of doubles specialists usually found in a Grand Slam mixed doubles bracket. Some criticized the changes when they were announced in February, with Errani and Vavassori calling the new format a 'pseudo-exhibition focused only on entertainment and show' that would shut out true doubles players.

Need To Recover Physically And Mentally: Carlos Alcaraz Withdraws From Canadian Open
World number two Carlos Alcaraz has been forced to withdraw from the Canadian ATP Masters 1000 event to recover following Wimbledon, organisers said on Tuesday. In a bid for a three-peat at Wimbledon, the five-time Grand Slam singles champion fell to Jannik Sinner in the grass-court major final earlier this month. Alcaraz owns a 48-6 record this season, according to the ATP Win/Loss Index, and has claimed five titles, including the Roland Garros trophy. "After many consecutive weeks of competition without rest, I will not be able to play in Toronto this year. I have small muscle issues, and I need to recover physically and mentally for what comes next. To the tournament and to my fans in Canada I am very sorry, I will see you next year!" Alcaraz shared on his social media. The 22-year-old Spaniard joined the long list of early withdrawals from the National Bank Open. Sinner and Novak Djokovic have also withdrawn from the tournament on Sunday. Sinner lifted the trophy in Toronto in 2023 while the 38-year-old Djokovic is a four-time National Bank Open champion. British No. 1 Jack Draper has also withdrawn from the Toronto draw due to an arm injury. "Winning that title in Toronto two years ago was the start of a really special moment for me, but after speaking with my team, I have to prioritise my health. I would like to thank Karl Hale, the Tournament Director, for everything he does and I'm looking forward to returning to Canada and Toronto in the future to play in front of the great fans," Sinner had said. The Canadian ATP Masters 1000 event begins on Sunday and this year the ATP Masters 1000 tournament will expand to 12 days, with the final set for August 7.
