Even the Prince and Princess of Wales and their kids were spotted watching the game.
A Beautiful Addition To His Career!
This victory was Jannik’s fourth major title in his tennis career. The 23-year-old Italian player now holds 3 of the last 4 major titles, establishing him as one of the new dominant forces in the sport.
