Many stars have been spotted in the royal box throughout the tournament, including both Russell and Gasly.

The F1 race winners were in attendance on Wednesday as Elena Rybakina booked her place in the women's semi-final, and would have seen 24-time grand slam winner Novak Djokovic in action too were it not for his opponent pulling out.

Other F1 personnel in the royal box included Sir Jackie Stewart and Red Bull design guru Adrian Newey.

It was not just on-court action the drivers were treated to, with both linking up with stars of the sport during their time at the event.

Russell was pictured alongside Djokovic, for example, whilst Gasly was snapped with reigning Wimbledon champion Carlos Alcaraz, with both stars into the semi-finals of the competition.

Wimbledon's official Instagram account sparked debate when posting the pictures of the stars, asking supporters who would win in a doubles match - Russell and Djokovic, or Gasly and Alcaraz.
