The actress, 28, who famously dated GOT's Richard Madden, could not wipe the smile off her face as she smooched with the hunk while Novak Djokovic took on Australia's Alex de Minaur.
Despite the action on the court the lovebirds only seemed to have eyes for each other as they giggled and chatted intently while holding hands.
Ellie looked chic on the outing in a dark brown co-ord which boasted a halterneck top and matching wide-legged trousers.
Shielding her eye behind £195 Mulberry Raffy Sunglasses she toted her essentials in a pre-loved £500 Mulberry bag.

MailOnline have contacted Ellie's representatives for comment.
Ellie and the Bodyguard's Richard, 39, split in early 2019 following an 18 month relationship.
The pair were believed to have gone through a rocky patch where they 'argued every day' before splitting after deciding that their problems weren't fixable.
The couple, who were once rarely seen without one another, have apparently become 'worlds apart' following Richard's acting success, an insider told The Sun at the time.
The source added that the split has come as a huge blow to Richard and Ellie, but they believe the decision is in their best interests.
They told the news outlet: 'They were arguing almost daily towards the end and, despite considering couples' therapy, it became evident there were far too many issues that could not be fixed.
'Ellie is a bit quieter, and wants to focus purely on her work. It felt like their day-to-day lives were increasingly becoming worlds apart.'
They continued that Richard and Ellie were never apart during the early days of their relationship, which meant that families became close too, therefore those close to them are also devastated by the break up.

Ellie will soon be starring in an upcoming Kate Moss biopic focusing on her now iconic collaboration with celebrated figurative painter Lucian Freud.
Kate was 28 years old and well-established as one of Britain's most successful fashion models when Freud painted her in the nude, an arduous nine-month project carried out at the artist's Holland Park home in 2002.
The painting would be sold privately for £3.5million some three years later, but its waif-like subject and her relationship with Freud will be reenacted for a wider audience in a forthcoming film.
Directed by James Lucas, the appropriately titled Moss & Freud will feature rising star Ellie as the supermodel in what could arguably be her most challenging role to date.
The task at hand is all the more daunting given she was handpicked by Kate, but those charting her career - including the supermodel, a self-confessed fan - will know the role is in safe hands.
Ellie was in Surrey to investment banker father David and mother Zoe, who now works as her manager.
She then developed a keen interest in acting from the age of 12 after being inspired by her drama teacher at Hawley Place School, now Hurst Lodge School, in Berkshire.
Mainstream success would soon follow, with the then 15-year-old starring alongside Cold Feet star Hermione Norris and Martin Clunes in 2012 miniseries A Mother's Son.
It would be the first of many carefully chosen TV roles, with Ellie taking another small part in The Musketeers before emerging as a star in her own right with the lead in a 2018 adaptation of Les Misérables.
She would play Cosette in an ensemble cast featuring Dominic West, David Oyelowo, Lily Collins and Derek Jacobi - who reunites with Ellie by playing the enigmatic Freud in her latest film.
