Kate to watch ladies’ singles final at Wimbledon

Kate to watch ladies’ singles final at Wimbledon

The Princess of Wales will return to Wimbledon to watch the ladies’ singles final on Saturday.

Kate will be back on Centre Court to watch Czech Marketa Vondrousova take on Tunisian Ons Jabeur.

As a patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, the princess is a regular face at SW19.

Kate last visited Wimbledon on the tournament’s second day, when she was forced to shelter under an umbrella as showers poured down on Court 18, where she was watching British number one Katie Boulter.

In the afternoon, she took her seat in the Royal Box on Centre Court where she was joined by former champion Roger Federer.

Vondrousova will have two extra supporters for the final against Jabeur, with her husband Stepan Simek abandoning cat-sitting duties to fly to London.

She told reporters: “He’s coming tomorrow with my sister. We texted the cat sitter to come to our home.”

The Czech player, whose arms are covered in tattoos, was asked if she would get a Wimbledon tattoo if she wins the title on Wednesday.

Vondrousova said: “I have a bet with my coach. If I win a Grand Slam, he’s going to get one, so I hope I will (win).”
