The event has been revamped, taking place before the main singles draw begins. It will consist of best-of-three-set matches, with short sets of up to four games and no-ad in games that reach a score of deuce (40-all), meaning that the winner of the next point wins the game. If the teams split sets, a 10-point match tie-break will be played instead of a third set. The first team to earn 10 points in the tie-break, with an advantage of two or more points – will win the match. The final will be a best-of-three-set match, with sets maxing out at six games. Raducanu and Alcaraz – who can expect to be given a portmanteau nickname of either 'Alcaranu' or 'Raducaraz' – are one of six teams who have received wild cards so far and two further wild cards are set to be announced at a later date to take the overall number of teams competing to 16. Eight of the total 16 pairs have received direct entry into the draw, including Emma Navarro and Jannik Sinner along with Iga Swiatek and Casper Ruud. Britain's Jack Draper is also in the main draw, paired with Paula Badosa and US duo Jessica Pegula and Tommy Paul will play together in front of their home crowd.

Meet Cameron Norrie's girlfriend Louise Jacobi – not Emma Raducanu: despite speculation, the British Wimbledon quarter-finalist has been dating the Chicago-born interior designer since 2019
Cameron Norrie, 29, has advanced to the Wimbledon quarter-finals after a challenging five-set victory over Chilean qualifier Nicolás Jarry. It marks Norrie's second time reaching the Wimbledon quarter-finals, making him only the third British man in the last 50 years to achieve the feat more than once – the other two being Tim Henman and Andy Murray, according to The Independent.

'Apart from everyone here loving tennis, some of the gossip has been about who Emma Raducanu is dating,' the reporter said. 'Can I ask if you're dating her? Can we get to the bottom of this please?' Advertisement 'Sorry?' Norrie replied, confused. 'I'm not, no. You can ask her, though. You can ask her.' What perhaps made the question even more inappropriate was the fact that Norrie has a long-term girlfriend, Louise Jacobi – a talented fashion designer and entrepreneur who's been by his side since 2019, per Hello! Magazine. Here is everything you need to know about the tennis ace's glamorous girlfriend. How did Cameron Norrie meet Louise Jacobi?

Photo: @weezcobi/Instagram Norrie and Jacobi met in a New York City bar in 2019 through a mutual friend, per Hello! They enjoyed their first date when Norrie invited her to Vienna to watch him play. 'When he asked me, I thought, 'I guess this guy doesn't live a normal life, and it's not like I can meet [him] down the street and go to dinner together,'' she said. 'So I went on this trip and was only supposed to be in Vienna for five days, and things just went really well.' Coincidentally, Jacobi had just been laid off at the time, which allowed them to build the foundation of their relationship before Covid-19 hit. Vienna is a special place for Louise Jacobi and Cameron Norrie. Photo: @weezcobi/Instagram Last October, the couple returned to the city where they had their first date. 'Vienna was the first tennis tournament I ever went to,' Jacobi shared in a sweet Instagram post. 'Who would have thought I'd still be coming here five years later? Some photos over the years with Cam in this amazing city.'

BBC pundit Tim Henman's daughter BLOCKED from sitting on Henman Hill at Wimbledon
TIM HENMAN'S daughter was blocked from sitting on Henman Hill at Wimbledon. The All England Club was packed as Brit Cameron Norrie took on defending champion Carlos Alcaraz. 2 There was barely an empty seat inside Centre Court and there was not a patch of grass uncovered on Henman Hill. So many fans packed onto the famous lawn that it had to be shut by staff at the grounds. And that meant Henman's daughter was unable to access the hill named after her dad. Wimbledon icon Henman said on BBC commentary: "My daughter just messaged me saying it's shut. "They shut the hill because it's too busy and she can't get on it." Cameras panned out to show thousands of spectators catching a glimpse of the action on the big screen. After the first set, which was won by Alcaraz, presenter Clare Balding confirmed what Henman said. She added: "They have closed the hill because it is so busy. "Even his daughter could not get on the hill named after him I mean what?!" Henman and his wife Lucy Heald have three daughters - Rosie, 20, Olivia, 20, and Grace, 17.

Tim Henman left with egg on his face as Wimbledon controversy resurfaces
Wimbledon chiefs were forced to issue a second statement on Tuesday after another blunder occurred in a high-profile match involving the Hawk-Eye line-calling technology Tim Henman's confident assertion that the new Wimbledon line-calling system is 'absolutely 100 per cent accurate' was proven wrong after yet another blunder on Tuesday. Taylor Fritz and Karen Khachanov were forced to replay a point after the technology malfunctioned in their quarter-final on Court One. Fritz moved into the semi-finals with a 6-3, 6-4, 1-6, 7-6 win on Tuesday afternoon, but there was another talking point from the match. It came after "fault" was mistakenly called by the Hawk-Eye system during play early in the fourth set. 'Ladies and gentleman, we will replay the last point because of a malfunction,' chair umpire Louise Azemar-Engzell said. 'The system is now working.' The All England Club also said in a statement: "The player's service motion began while the BBG was still crossing the net and therefore the system didn't recognise the start of the point. As such the Chair Umpire instructed the point be replayed." The error came a day after Wimbledon were forced to release a statement apologising for and supposedly rectifying the farcical scenes that occurred in Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova's match against Sonay Kartal. A shot from Kartal which was clearly out was not called by the automated system, forcing the point to be replayed. All England Club committee member Henman had previously come out to bat for the line-calling system following criticism from British No.1s Jack Draper and Emma Raducanu. 'The narrative around players questioning the accuracy of the calling is just utter garbage,' Henman said. 'Is the technology accurate? Absolutely, 100 per cent.' Khachanov isn't so sure. 'Yeah, look, to be honest, I'm more for line umpires, to be honest. I don't know. You feel a little bit too big, too alone without line umpires,' he said after his defeat. 'At the same time, it looks like AI and electronic line calls have to be very precise and make no mistakes, but we've seen a couple. That's questionable why this is happening. Is it just an error of the machine, or what's the reason? 'Like today, I think there were a few calls. I don't know, very questionable if it's really touching the line or not. At the same time during one point, the machine called it out during the rally. Sometimes it's scary to let machines do what they want, you know? Asked about the erroneous call of 'out', he added: 'Yeah, what can I do? I can argue, or I can be angry about it or just continue playing. It's not in my power. It's already happened. I need to kind of accept it, and that's it. 'It was not a super important point. If it would happen on a break point or deuce or maybe tiebreaker, okay, you can get more mad. But it was just at the beginning of the set, 15-0 or 0-15. I don't remember. It was maybe not that important moment. That's why I stayed really focused and calm.'
