Today tennis royalty met with real royalty. Prince William made a surprise visit to watch Roger Federer play a second round match at the Australian Open. Federer acknowledged Prince William in the crowd after the win against Romanian opponent, Victor Hanescu. “Your Royal Highness, welcome to the world of tennis. Thanks for coming,” Federer said.

Prince William stayed for the final match of the evening between Casey Dellacqua and Karolina Sprem  and also posed for pictures with both Federer and Serena Williams.

“I’m a little crazy; I wouldn’t want to date me,” says Serena Williams during her interview with BBC on the eve of Wimbledon.  I wouldn’t call me a Serena Fan, but I cannot deny that she is a great player and an interesting character. Watch the interview here. (via Women Who Serve)
