It was already a star-studded Royal Box for Saturday in Wimbledon as there were too many icons from different walks of life gracing the Centre Court with hope of witnessing a flurry of crackers. They were definitely not disappointed. In what was an easy win for German tennis star, Alexander Zverev, he outplayed Cameron Norrie in the third round of the tournament.

Amidst all the stars present in the Royal Box, one of them was iconic Catalan football coach, Pep Guardiola. Leading Manchester City to unparalleled success, Guardiola wanted to savour a bit of tennis action before the Cityzens kick-off their pre-season in UK ahead of their tour to the United States.

It’s an honour to play in the beautiful Centre Court. It is an incredible feeling to play in front of the Royal Box. We had so many great guests today. For me, football legend with Pep Guardiola. When I saw Pep, I got so nervous for a few games there...so thanks a lot for coming. It's a great privilege, great honour to play. And by the way, last thing. Bayern Munich needs a coach man. And if you're tired of football you can coach me on the tennis court any time.
