A tennis legend has left fans stunned over her new look, after posing for a selfie alongside David Beckham at Wimbledon.
Much like every year, a number of A-listers made their way to SW19 to catch some of the action on court – despite it being the warmest start on record.
Despite the sweltering heat, Beckham made a transatlantic dash from Atlanta, where he had been watching his Inter Miami side bow out of the Club World Cup.
The former Man United star was in good spirits throughout – after being pictured alongside Gareth Southgate in the Royal Box – before sharing a selfie on Instagram.
Beckham posed alongside former Wimbledon champion Maria Sharapova, who sported a new look that was a far cry from her appearance when she used to play.
The Russian star showed off her brunette hair as she smiled along with Beckham in W12 – which left some fans in awe at her new appearance.

Fans were stunned as they noted the change in Sharapova’s appearance from her playing days
‘Maria Sharapova looks so different from her playing days,’ one fan wrote on X.
Sharapova has been a long-time friend of the Beckhams, attending numerous fashion events with Victoria.
Beckham, 50, 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.
Asked about his conditioning on Sunday night by DAZN, Beckham replied: ‘It’s fine. It was an old injury that needed surgery but it’s all good.’
As sporting royalty, the pair did not have to navigate the queue, which was the bane of many a tennis fan’s day on Monday.
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.
