Actress Hannah Waddingham was among the notable figures who graced Wimbledon on Thursday, the 11th day of the tournament, which featured the women's singles semi-finals. Waddingham, known for her role in "Ted Lasso," arrived at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in a white waistcoat and matching tailored trousers, opting for a chic ensemble as temperatures rose in London.
The day's events centered on the women's semi-final matches. The highlight match featured American player Coco Gauff, the highest-ranked seed remaining in the draw at number seven. Gauff advanced to this stage after defeating fourth seed Jessica Pegula in the quarter-finals. This marks Gauff's first Wimbledon semi-final appearance, seven years after her debut at the tournament at age 15, where she famously beat Venus Williams.
Gauff was scheduled to play against Czech player Karolina Muchova, the 10th seed. Muchova entered the semi-final with a strong record on grass this season, having won 10 of her 11 matches. In contrast, Gauff had no grass-court wins prior to Wimbledon this year since 2024.
The second women's semi-final was set to feature Linda Noskova against Marta Kostyuk. Additionally, the mixed doubles final was also scheduled for Thursday, with the Australian pair Marc Polmans and Storm Hunter facing Marcelo Arevalo of El Salvador and Jelena Ostapenko of Latvia.
Other personalities seen in attendance included Gabby Logan, who opted for a bright pink shirt dress with puff sleeves, and Dame Darcey Bussell, who wore a navy and white polka dot sundress with white heels. Both were seen enjoying the matches and the atmosphere at SW19.
