LONDON (AP) --- David Beckham is taking a break from the World Cup to attend
the opening day of Wimbledon, sitting in the Royal Box on Centre Court on
Monday.
Beckham was accompanied by his mother, Sandra, and was joined in the Royal Box
by other celebrities like actor Mark Rylance and Boyzone singer Ronan Keating.
They were on hand to watch defending champion Jannik Sinner open play on Centre
Court against Miomir Kecmanovic, with women's No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka and
seven-time men's champion Novak Djokovic both playing their first-round matches
later.
Beckham, the former Manchester United and Real Madrid midfielder turned
businessman and fashion icon, has been traveling around the United States to
attend World Cup games this month and was in the stands for England's final
group-stage match against Panama on Saturday.
The co-owner of MLS team Inter Miami also watched Scotland's loss to Brazil in
Miami and England's draw against Ghana near Boston.
