David Beckham had the best seat in the house for Emma Raducanu’s Wimbledon return on Monday.
The English football legend and his mother Sandra enjoyed a front-row spot in the Royal Box
to watch Raducanu defeat Mexican lucky loser Renata Zarazua 7-6(0), 6-3 on Centre Court.
Beckham has been a frequent visitor at Wimbledon over the last years, frequently accompanying his sons to take in a day of tennis.
Raducanu wasn’t the only British success story on Day 1. No.148 Lily Miyazaki, 28, won her first Wimbledon main-draw match by defeating Germany’s Tamara Korpatsch 6-2, 6-1.
This is Miyazaki’s third Grand Slam main-draw appearance. She will face Rothesay International champion Daria Kasatkina next.
Beckham wasn’t the only British legend in the Centre Court stands. Sir David Attenborough received a standing ovation as he took his seat before the match.
