Centre Court or Content Court?

Body matter: Remember when Cannes was the place to be seen? Now, the new status spot is Wimbledon! One day you’re cheering in whites, next day every celeb, influencer and sports star is in the Royal Box with you. Wimbledon isn’t just about tennis anymore. The tournament wants Gen-Z eyes! So hinting the influencers. One reel, one courtside selfie and boom — a 100-year-old sporting event is turning into the hottest lifestyle flex. The real question is... do they actually deserve to be there? Ofcourse, old-school tennis lovers are not happy. They are saying online that influencers treat Wimbledon like one giant photoshoot, not a tennis match! Meanwhile real fans are out here waiting hours in the queue or praying to win the public ballot... just to watch influencers waltz into the best seats for a brand deal. Is the influencer circus is stealing attention from the actual sport and Wimbledon’s legacy? For now, let’s run down the celeb roll call. These are the names that got spotted at SW19 this year.

*Priyanka Chopra showed up at Wimbledon on looking every bit on the fashion moment. Bandanna on, she grabbed a front-row seat. But what really broke the internet was Priyanka FaceTiming Nick Jonas and giving him a full VIP tour of Wimbledon from her seat!

*Kalyani Priyadarshan turned up at Wimbledon in a baby blue midi with an asymmetric hem that did all the talking. High neck, front buttons and a chevron print, it was giving retro court-side glam. Lokah promotions, much?

*Ayesha Khan turned Wimbledon into her personal photoshoot! Red ankle-length gown, trophy pose and all the cute corners of the stadium. She hit every pretty photospot SW19 had to offer because, apparently, if you’re at Wimbledon now, you’re leaving with the pictures to prove it.

*On the other hand, Rannvijay Singha and Prianka Singha made Wimbledon their date day. The couple was spotted in the star-studded matches. Wimbledon is coming to India’s feed or is it vice-versa? Instead of asking Indian celebs to suddenly get British tennis traditions, they brought the tournament to them.

*Mr. Faisu also checked Wimbledon off his bucket list! Popular creator Faisal Shaikh was a specially invited VIP at the 2026 Championships in London, courtesy of Star Sports. From the stands to the behind-the-scenes, he took his millions of followers along for the whole ride. For him, being seen there means clout, connections and more brand deals!

*The ex-India opener Shikhar Dhawan was also spotted at Centre Court in London with his wife. The couple shared their Wimbledon diaries on social with: “From the cricket field to Centre Court... sport always finds a way.” Newly married glow or just pure love for sport? You decide.
