For those lucky enough to be invited to the Royal Box at Wimbledon, one can only imagine what an amazing experience it must be to sit in sport\u2019s most prestigious seat.<\/p>\n

In Wednesday\u2019s action none other than Queen Camilla watched over play on Centre Court as Novak Djokovic<\/a> booked his place in the semi-finals of the tournament.<\/p>\n

Earlier this week, the likes of Roger Federer<\/a>, James Anderson, Sir Ian McKellen<\/a> also graced the Wimbledon grounds. <\/p>\n

But for British acting royalty Hugh Grant, it appears a front-row seat to what is widely considered the best tennis tournament in the world was\u2026 a little boring.<\/p>\n

Hilarious footage appears to show the Love Actually star dozing off during the first set between Djokovic and his opponent Flavio Cobolli.<\/p>\n

Despite the set reaching a thrilling tiebreak, it appears it was not enough to keep Grant awake.<\/p>\n

Writing on X, many tennis fans saw the funny side of Grant\u2019s subtle snooze.<\/p>\n

@_eastafricanbih commented: \u2018The most Hugh Grant thing a Hugh Grant could ever Hugh.\u2019<\/p>\n

@elrorre added: \u2018Hugh Grant is my spirit animal.\u2019<\/p>\n

@sofignzalez also said: \u2018This is the most Hugh Grant thing he could do.\u2019<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, @albeertobrr said: \u2018Hugh Grant fell asleep during today\u2019s Wimbledon broadcast. Unique.\u2019<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s just hope the Queen couldn\u2019t hear him snoring.<\/p>\n

Before Novak\u2019s match got underway, Queen Camilla told Djokovic\u00a0she has her \u2018fingers crossed\u2019 for him <\/a>ahead of his quarter-final match at\u00a0Wimbledon<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Camilla was joined by her sister Annabel Elliot in the Royal Box on day 10 of action at SW19 on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

This also comes after a British Wimbledon star spoke out out after being hit with a \u00a39,000 fine<\/a> for \u2018abusing staff\u2019.<\/p>\n

The tennis club announced their first list of punishments for 2025 with 12 players fined, including a British star who \u2018verbally abused staff\u2019.<\/p>\n

Henry Patten has received the biggest fine so far at this year\u2019s Championships and has been told to pay \u00a39,000 for his behaviour in practice.<\/p>\n

The British player, who\u00a0won last year\u2019s Wimbledon men\u2019s doubles title<\/a>, \u2018verbally abused staff\u2019 as they attempted to cut his training session short.<\/p>\n

But Patten has issued a statement confirming that he plans to appeal against the fine, saying he has been left \u2018disappointed\u2019 over the decision.<\/p>\n
