Wimbledon diary: Leonardo DiCaprio in the crowd and Roger Federer's still got it
Meanwhile, Grigor Dimitrov gave an emotional update from his hospital bed following the sickening injury he suffered against Jannik Sinner on Monday evening.
Dimitrov on the mend
Bulgarian 19th seed Dimitrov's Championships ended in heartbreaking fashion.
The 34-year-old was leading world number one Sinner by two sets when he suffered a pectoral injury forcing him to retire.
'Recovery starts now, I'll see you all soon,' he wrote on Instagram.
Kartal's big reveal
Sonay Kartal promised to get a new tattoo after Wimbledon and ended up with two.
A lightning design to mark the moment a clap of thunder greeted her when she first walked on to Centre Court, and the number 329 to remember her Billie Jean King Cup debut.
Kartal became the 329th player to represent Great Britain in either the Davis Cup, the Billie Jean King Cup, the Wheelchair Tennis World Team Cup, the Olympics and the Paralympics.
Look who's back
There was a familiar face down at the Aorangi Park practice courts, none other than eight-time champion and all-round Wimbledon hero Roger Federer.
The 43-year-old enjoyed a crafty hit at his old stomping ground and looked for all the world as though he could probably still make the semi-finals, at least.
Heart of Glasspool
Footballers are renowned for working out dates by seasons or fixtures, and it seems tennis players are the same.
British doubles star Lloyd Glasspool was asked if he and fiancee Sophia Maslin had set a date for their wedding.
'It's the Friday before Queen's,' he said. 'I really should know the date…'
Quote of the day
'Right now I don't want to think about Sunday. I just want to enjoy this moment and that I've got to a third final in a row' – Carlos Alcaraz after reaching another Wimbledon final.

Rangers ‘take firm interest in £5m-rated international winger as European club told to expect offer from Ibrox'
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) RUSSELL MARTIN has already added seven new names in his first summer in charge of Rangers. But it doesn't seem like the incomings are going to slow down at Ibrox. Sign up for the Rangers newsletter Sign up 3 Russell Martin is reportedly eyeing his eight signing of the summer at Rangers Credit: PA 3 A report has linked Gers with a European international winger Credit: Getty 3 The Finnish cap scored against Scotland in a friendly last year Credit: PA A new report has linked Rangers with the signing of Finnish international Oliver Antman. We told you earlier this weekend that Martin is eyeing up Crystal Palace winger Jeserun Rak-Sakyi as a target for the right wing. Gers have also already welcomed wide man Djeidi Gassama through the door, with the Frenchman scoring on his debut against Panathinaikos. But Stephen McGowan of the Herald says that Antman's club Go Ahead Eagles have been told by intermediaries to expect a bid from Glasgow for their star. Rangers' interest is described as 'firm', although Go Ahead would be expected to ask for a fee in excess of £5m for the 23-year-old, who notched six goals and 16 assists in his debut season after transferring from Nordsjaelland last summer. The Finland ace also bagged a late equaliser from the penalty spot in his country's 2-2 draw with Scotland last June. The report claims that Sheffield United are interested in Antman as a replacement for Rak-Sakyi, who was on loan at Brammall Lane last term. Martin attempted to sign Rak-Sakyi when he was Southampton boss, and remains keen on an initial loan deal for the 22-year-old. Martin said: "There are a lot of players we have been linked with. "Some wide of the mark, some very close and some spot on. Rangers transfer special assesses whether Conor Coady deal is OFF, if Hamza Igamane will leave and when the Gers can expect more incomings "[Rak-Sakyi] is a player I liked at Southampton, we tried to take him there and it didn't quite happen. "He is a player I like and I think the recruitment staff like him too, how far that has gone I'm not too sure. "He is a really good player. We look at all sorts of different profiles that we think can help the team. It doesn't have to be just one sort of profile. "Players are very different. We just need the ones with the right mentality who are desperate to come here and we will see where we are in four weeks' time."

Ozzy Osbourne's most outrageous moments from bat eating to meat throwing and feud with TV legend
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) SINCE shooting to fame as part of Black Sabbath, Ozzy Osbourne carved out a staggering career in the entertainment industry spanning almost 60 years. But this week, he sadly passed away "surrounded by family" at his home with his family after a lengthy battle with Parkinson's. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 7 Ozzy Osbourne passed away following his battle with Parkinson's Credit: PA And with the world mourning the loss, it's impossible not to look back at the jaw-dropping moments that defined his one-of-a-kind career. Whether he was biting the head off a bat on stage, hurling raw meat into crowds, or feuding with TV royalty. Here's a look back at the most outrageous and iconic moments in the life of the rock legend. Bat-Biting (1982) 7 This bat-biting incident became a career defining moment for Ozzy Osbourne Credit: Alamy The singer - dubbed the Prince of Darkness - has always played up to his satanic image. So when a fan hurled what he thought was a rubber bat toy at him on stage in January 1982, he put its head in his mouth and chomped. Turned out it was in fact a real bat and he later recalled: 'Immediately, something felt wrong.' There was a foul taste, and he felt the severed head twitch in his mouth. The teenage bat-thrower later insisted it was already dead, but Ozzy always maintained he felt it moving. Ozzy's Death Metal (1995) 7 Ozzy had almost killed a man by tossing a TV out a hotel window Credit: Getty Wild rocker Ozzy had almost killed a man by tossing a TV out a hotel window whilst on his Retirement Sucks! tour in 1995. He was boozing with guitarist Zakk Wylde in Prague unaware of a smoker outside when he decided to throw a TV out of his hotel room. Ozzy and Kelly Osbourne performing their version of Changes together He recalled: 'I am in The Four Seasons and I am watching the TV and I go to Zakk, 'I have never thrown a f****** TV out of the window of a hotel room. Let's f****** do it'. 'So I ripped the window open, picked it up and threw it out of the f****** window. It landed on the floor and f****** exploded. It went like a bomb. 'Little did I know that there was a guy smoking a cigarette and I shudder to think if that had hit him on the head. I would have killed him stone f****** dead.' Meat Throwing (1980's) 7 The rock legend hurled raw meat and animal parts into the crowd Credit: Getty In the Eighties, Ozzy took his fan interaction to a whole new level with a ritual as outrageous as it was unforgettable. The rock legend began hurling raw meat and animal parts into the crowd — all whilst encouraging fans to return the favour with whatever strange items they could sneak into the venue. One being the now-infamous bat incident and whilst some chalked it up to his on-stage theatrics, the truth was far more tongue-in-cheek. He revealed in his documentary The Nine Lives of Ozzy Osbourne, the inspiration came from old slapstick films featuring custard pie fights. He said: 'It gave me this idea to throw, instead of pie, bits of meat and animal parts into the audience. 'I thought it was hilarious. (They'd throw back) sheep testicles, live snakes, dead rats, all kinds of things. Someone once threw a live frog onto onstage, it was the biggest frog I'd ever seen and it landed on its back.' TV Legend Feud (2002) 7 Not yet disgraced TV host and comedian Bill Cosby slammed the Osbourne's family show Credit: Getty Back in 2002 Ozzy and his family created a reality show big enough to rival The Kardashians. The Osbourne's documented the ups and downs of the family's day to day life but not everyone had a good opinion about he show. Not yet disgraced TV host and comedian Bill Cosby slammed the MTV series as "not entertainment". Ozzy later revealed in his autobiography that Cosby had sent a letter scolding the family's use of foul language and supposed bad influence. Wife Sharon was quick to fire back with a letter of her own, pointing out that Cosby wasn't exactly a saint — especially after news of his extramarital affair surfaced in the late nineties. She also called out the hypocrisy of him clutching at straws over swearing whilst TV was drowning in violence. The Alamo (1982) 7 The Birmingham-born rocker was arrested at the site when he decided to publically urinate Back in 1982 a very drunk Ozzy was seen dressed in one of wife Sharon's gowns during a photo shoot near the Alamo — the iconic Texas landmark where outnumbered rebels made their famed last stand against the Mexican army. The Birmingham-born rocker was arrested at the site when he decided to publically urinate. He later returned to the landmark with son Jack with Ozzy admitting he wasn't sure if he actually peed on the memorial as he was "very inebriated". But Ozzy's fears were calmed once they were met by local councilman Robert Trevino who found Ozzy's old police report. He then revealed the star was only charged with public intoxication that day - and never with public urination or public indecency. Dove De-Capitation (1981) 7 Ozzy pulled one of the most bizarre stunts in music history Credit: The Mega Agency A bat isn't the only thing The Black Sabbath Frontman bit into. Back in 1981, during a meeting with CBS Records to celebrate his new solo deal, Ozzy pulled one of the most bizarre stunts in music history. Hoping to make an impression, he arrived at the boardroom carrying two white doves. What was supposed to be a quirky gesture quickly turned into a PR nightmare when he suddenly grabbed one of the doves and bit it's head off. Spitting it onto the conference table in front of label executives and later reportedly did the same to the second dove, he admitted: 'They were all throwing up all over the place. People were freaked.' He was immediately thrown out from the building and whilst the label was appalled, the stunt only added to Ozzy's reputation as rock's most unpredictable wild man.
