The Queen has shared a behind-the-scenes video of her royal trip to Wimbledon.

Camilla paid a surprise visit to SW19 on Wednesday (10 July) to watch the quarter-final action on Cente Court.

She took time to meet head gardener Martyn Falconer, who has worked at Wimbledon for 25 years, and also had a special encounter with the daughter of Mexican doubles player Santiago Gonzalez, who is also called Camilla.

Sharing footage on Instagram, the video was captioned: “A fantastic day of tennis at @wimbledon - thank you to all those who are working so hard behind the scenes to make The Championships so special.”

Chinese women beat reigning Olympic champion United States in volleyball
The U.S. women’s volleyball team had a bad enough start in its Olympic title defense. The Americans lost the first two sets to China on Monday in a pool play format where total points and sets won can become playoff tiebreakers. “We obviously didn’t have the start that we wanted, but the third, fourth and fifth were really promising,” blocker Haleigh Washington said.

Djokovic beats rival Nadal at the Paris Olympics in their 60th and possibly last head-to-head match
Novak Djokovic, who won, and Rafael Nadal, who lost, met at the net and hugged after playing at the Paris Olympics in the 60th — and quite possibly last — installment of a record-breaking and often riveting rivalry between two tennis greats who share a mutual respect if not a close friendship. This 6-1, 6-4 victory for Djokovic came in only the second round of the Summer Games — instead of a Grand Slam final, like nine previous head-to-head encounters — and it was not the most scintillating contest, either, other than for a 20-minute interlude in the second set, when Nadal's final push made things briefly competitive after he ceded 10 of the initial 11 games. Afterward, neither Nadal, who is 38, nor Djokovic, 37, was willing to concede they won't play each other again, even if that seems likely.

China claims diving record with its 49th Olympic gold medal, surpassing the United States
SAINT-DENIS, France (AP) — China has won more diving gold medals than any other country, passing the one-time powerhouse United States for the top spot on the table Monday. Some record books list the U.S. with 49 golds as well, but the IOC considers a 1904 victory in a one-time event known as “plunging for distance” to be part of the swimming program, not diving. And What Is Plunging For Distance?
