David Beckham led the stars who were out in force in London’s heatwave on Monday to attend the first day of the Wimbledon Championships 2025. 

The ex-footballer, now 50, was seen wearing a bandage on his hand as he settled into his seat in the Royal Box at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, following a recent wrist surgery.

He swiftly traveled from Atlanta, where he watched his team, Inter Miami, exit the Club World Cup after facing Paris Saint-Germain, to attend the tournament where Britain’s Emma Raducanu is scheduled to play at 3:50pm.

He looked his usual dapper self in a cream tailored suit for the occasion which he layered over a crispy white shirt and burgundy tie.  

Despite his busy schedule, he showed no signs of jet lag, smiling and waving at the crowd. He also happily posed for a lively selfie with former Wimbledon champion Maria Sharapova on Henman Hill.

David was hospitalised last week after being left in ‘unbearable’ pain and requiring surgery to remove a screw embedded in his wrist from an old injury suffered while playing for England 22 years ago.

The first day of the tournament has seen tennis fans given a shock after being told to stay away due to Wimbledon already being ‘at capacity’.

Earl’s Court tube station in West London, a popular changeover point en route to Wimbledon, was packed with tennis fans who had flown in from all over the world.

And the Met Office suggested today was ‘the warmest start to Wimbledon on record’.

But an announcement over the PA system quickly put a dampener on the excitement after it was revealed the grounds were already ‘at capacity’ before 9am.

The All England Club queue is incredibly popular in the opening week and fans had been in it since the early hours of the day, to make it into the grounds for Day One.

Those who had opted for a slightly later lie-in faced disappointment when they were told that non-ticket holders risked not getting in.

There were also warnings that travellers faced at best ‘several hours’ waiting in the queue with temperatures soaring for the rest of the day.

An update from Wimbledon’s official website on Monday read: ‘Please be aware that the Queue for Day 1 – Monday 30th June – is very busy and to avoid disappointment we strongly advise you not to travel to the Grounds today.

Please note there is hot weather forecast for Monday and Tuesday. In both The Queue and the Grounds there may be periods where shade is not available.

‘Please plan appropriately, including bringing water, suncream and a hat. Water refill points are available in the Queue and around the Grounds.’

The queue offers fans the chance to buy limited Show Court tickets or a Grounds ticket, which are sold on a best available, one-per-person queuing basis. 

A total of 500 tickets for Centre Court – excluding the last four days – No.1 Court, and No.2 Court are available for the days that they are in play.

Ahead of the tournament, organisers warned fans to check the status of the Queue before travelling.

The tournament has a maximum grounds capacity of 42,000 spectators.

One fan in the queue claimed more than 9,000 people were in the line for day one just after 7am this morning.

Fans in the queue could be faced with predicted temperatures of 34 degrees as they aim to enter the grounds for the first day of play.
