Meet the TWAGS: From Kim Murray to Jelena Djokovic, these are the stylish spectators to watch during Wimbledon
Wimbledon officially starts today, kicking off two whole weeks of racketing action. Off the court, though, there is another scene to take in, as the most stylish celebrities and sporty spouses turn up to support their friends and loved ones, whilst giving their best take on the oh soBritish ‘country casuals’ dress code. Kim Murray’s blow dry is now as synonymous with the game as the strawberries and cream, but there are several other fashion players worth noting in the stands. These are the tennis wives and girlfriends (and husbands and boyfriends) worth taking your eye off the ball for...
Kim Murray
Tennis star spouse: Andy Murray
Courtside style signatures: Busy prints in pretty colours. Expect her to pick new incarnations of her favourite Kate Spade dresses, accessorised with obligatory oversized sunglasses and an Aspinal bag or five.
Mirka Federer
Tennis star spouse: Roger Federer
Courtside style signatures: Mirka and Roger regularly sit front row at Paris Fashion Week alongside their friend, Vogue editor Anna Wintour. As such, Mrs Federer’s fashion repertoire in the stands is high-octane, and includes Gucci jumpers, Chanel handbags and Cavalli shirt dresses as she hosts mates like David Beckham and Bradley Cooper in the team box.
David Lee
Tennis star spouse: Caroline Wozniacki
Courtside style signatures: Since Wozniacki and NBA player Lee got engaged earlier this year, they’ve been basking in a (Valencia-filtered) glow, posting gorgeous photos for their adoring one million fans to see on social media. Expect Lee to break the dress code in the box and bring some nonchalant, basketball attire into the mix - topped off with those jock trademark, Instagram-ready sunglasses.
Jelena Djokovic
Tennis star spouse: Novak Djokovic
Courtside style signatures: Serbian Jelena’s glossiness matches that of Kim Murray’s, but she keeps a slightly lower profile by always wearing a wide-brimmed hat and mirrored sunglasses. Loves to pull out a Victoria Beckham sundress if the Wimbledon weather comes good.
Michal Navara
Tennis star spouse: Dominika Cibulkova
Courtside style signatures: Slovakian star Dominika married Michal in 2016 in a stunning ceremony in Bratislava. Navara may have a hipster beard, but he always suits up for Cibulkova’s tennis engagements, so expect him to have a go at the classic straw hat, navy jacket and chinos combination that Wimbledon regulars Bradley Cooper and Jude Law don.
Ester Berdych Satorova
Tennis star spouse: Tomas Berdych
Courtside style signatures: She’s a Czech model signed with the world-famous Wilhelmina agency in Miami, so her spectator style is that classic model-off-duty combination of denim shorts and a white t-shirt. The other staple? A pair of Dior’s mirrored sunglasses. Husband Tomas has been forced to pull out of the competition this year - but might they pop in to enjoy watching friends play instead?
Xisca Perelló
Tennis star spouse: Rafael Nadal
Courtside style signatures: Nadal’s long-term girlfriend has an enviable collection of it-bags, and matches her Loewe ‘Puzzles’ to her tops as a regular courtside trick. Colour-blocking in the stands is the sure-fire way to stand out on TV.
Alexis Olympia Ohanian, Junior
Tennis star parent: Serena Williams
Courtside style signatures: Keep a look out for Serena Williams' husband Alexis Ohanian, who is expected to be clutching the couple's ten month old daughter Alexis Olympia Ohanian Junior in the stands as her mother returns to the court after maternity leave. The babe's signature look, according to her Instagram page, will be tennis whites all the way.
