Hugh Grant Appears To Nod Off While Courtside At Wimbledon
It looks like Hugh Grant's love of tennis couldn't help him rally enough energy to stay awake during Wimbledon's men's singles quarterfinal match on Wednesday.
While the 'Heretic' actor was seen with his head slumped and his chin resting on his chest, his sunglasses made it hard to confirm if he was actually dozing off as he watched the tournament with his wife, Anna Eberstein, from the exclusive Royal Box.

The 'Notting Hill' actor was one of many A-listers spotted at Wimbledon this week.
Also seen courtside were newlyweds Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos, Oscar-winner Jodie Foster, royal couple Kate Middleton and husband Prince William, 'Spiderman' star Tom Holland, Kendall Jenner and actor-slash-foodie Stanley Tucci.
It was a shame that Grant looked like he couldn't keep his eyes open during the face-off between seven-time Wimbledon champ Novak Djokovic and 23-year-old Italian hot shot Flavio Cobolli.
Djokovic bested Cobolli in four sets, advancing him to Friday's semi-final match against the Association of Tennis Professionals' top-ranked men's singles player, Jannik Sinner.
And online, people couldn't resist serving up a few jokes about Grant's snooze:

The sound of tennis balls being hit across the court is akin to a metronome.

Atalanta will meet for Muniz and Mateta in striker search
Atalanta are reportedly intensifying their pursuit of Fulham centre-forward Rodrigo Muniz, with a meeting also planned for Crystal Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta. According to Sky Sport Italia, 24-year-old Muniz is increasingly seen as the hot favourite to reinforce the attack in Bergamo following Mateo Retegui's record breaking transfer to Al-Qadsiyah. The Brazilian found the net 11 times with two assists in the Premier League last season and his contract only runs to June 2026, although the club does have an option to extend by another year. Formerly of Flamengo, Muniz made the €8m transfer to Fulham in 2021. Muniz and Mateta on Atalanta radar CRAWLEY, ENGLAND – JULY 25: Jean-Phillipe Mateta of Crystal Palace looks on during the pre-season friendly match between Crawley Town and Crystal Palace at Broadfield Stadium on July 25, 2025 in Crawley, England. (Photo by) Sky Sport Italia also warn that Atalanta directors might use the trip to England to have other meetings too, specifically with Crystal Palace. This is because Mateta is seen as another alternative for the attack, even after the reported €34.7m proposal was rejected. He recently turned 28 and had an impressive 14 goals with two assists in 37 Premier League appearances last term.

Liverpool confirm arrival of 40-goal forward
Liverpool have been wanting to sign a prolific striker all season - now they have one. The deal has been confirmed by the club and there can no longer be any doubt about his future. 🚨2025/26 LFC x adidas range🚨 LFC x adidas Shop the home range today! LFC x adidas Shop the goalkeeper range today LFC x adidas Shop the new adidas range today! The Reds' struggle with Darwin Nunez is set to end with the Uruguayan likely to move on, and his replacement has already arrived in Hugo Ekitike, although the Frenchman's move is potential-based. 🔴 But the incredibly sad loss of Diogo Jota earlier this summer has meant a second striker is required and another forward has now to signed to potentially play a role this season, although reports are suggesting that Alexander Isak is still on the club's radar, so he might also end up joining the Reds. Striker move confirmed by club Until that happens, the focus should be on the signing of Will Wright from Salford City. It has been rumoured for a few days that the 17-year-old was now a Red, but it has taken until now for the club to officially confirm his move. Let it be known that his transfer is an enormous scalp. The player scored 40 goals at the academy level for the Manchester-based club and when you consider his age, you have to just sit back and appreciate how remarkable a goal return that is. Prior to his move, he was being slowly introduced to Salford's first-team, making his FA Cup debut and then appearing twice in League Two. The Englishman's potential is clearly sky-high right now.
