Wimbledon's The Hill in New York brings free tennis watch parties and Rita Ora to NYC next month
The strawberries, scones and serve-and-volley drama of Wimbledon are crossing the pond again this July, and this time, they're bringing Rita Ora. Wimbledon's The Hill in New York is back for its fourth year, transforming Brooklyn Bridge Park into a free, weekend-long tennis garden party with a distinctly British flair—and some serious star wattage. The celebration kicks off Friday, July 11, with a sunset concert by UK pop powerhouse Rita Ora, presented by American Express. Just 5,000 lucky fans will score free tickets via online ballot, and doors open at 6 p.m. sharp. Ora, who's no stranger to Centre Court herself, will headline the waterfront stage with songs from her latest album You & I, including summer-ready banger "Ask & You Shall Receive" and her U.S. dance radio chart-topper "Praising You." 'Get ready for some heat,' Ora teased of the one-night-only show. But the real main event begins the next morning, as the park morphs into New York's own version of Wimbledon's iconic Henman Hill (a.k.a. 'The Hill')—complete with florals, white picket fences and plenty of fish and chips. Gates open at 7 a.m. on Saturday, July 12, and Sunday, July 13, with live broadcasts of the doubles and singles finals starting at 8 a.m. and 11 a.m., respectively. After the matches, stay for 'sunset screenings' of classic Wimbledon showdowns. Presented by the All England Lawn Tennis Club, the weekend experience offers New Yorkers a chance to get a taste of the Championships without the airfare to SW19. Expect quintessential British fare, oversized screens with skyline views and all the grass-court intensity you can handle. Admission is free, but you'll need to enter the official ballot by July 1 to snag tickets. Winners will be notified on July 8, and a limited number of walk-up spots will be available on the day.

Rita Ora is channeling her inner sexy with steamy new banger 'Heat'
It wouldn't be a proper Pride Month without Rita Ora! With a plethora of hits like "Let You Love Me," "Your Song," "Ask & You Shall Receive," "I Will Never Let You Down," and many more, the star is pulling out all the stops for her upcoming performance at WorldPride Music Festival in Washington, D.C. "I'm literally so excited! I have performed at a lot of Pride's in my career and I just have this forever responsibility to show up for my LGBTQIA+ community, especially the ones that have had my back since 2012," Ora tells PRIDE. See on Instagram Ora will not only be singing her catalog of hits, but she'll also be performing her newest steamy banger "Heat" for the first time at the queer festival. "I keep coming back! One thing about Rita Ora... she's not going anywhere! My queens have always said that to me. You're getting everything you want! I'm going to take you through a timeline of feeling good. It's definitely sexy. It's perfect for summer. I'm going back into my sexy girl era!" The bisexual singer has really found her home within the LGBTQ+ community and knows that she's very fortunate to have gay fans streaming her music all over the world. "Where else can I go? Wherever the queens are, I'm going. Could I get any more queenie and any more fabulous? If that's not saying enough, I don't know what will. This is where I belong! This is where I'm happiest, so I'll be there." "Heat" drops this Friday on all platforms. To see the full interview with Rita Ora, check out the video at the top of the page.
