So far this tournament, the likes of Benedict Cumberbatch, Celia Imrie and tennis legend Roger Federer have all been bagged invites, with Jason Isaacs, Elle Fanning, and Armando Iannucci also stopping by.
Day 13 of the competition will see 10th seed Karolina Muchova and ninth seed Linda Noskova contesting an all-Czech final with the Venus Rosewater dish on the line.
