On July 1, local time, the Wimbledon tennis open opened the first round of matches, and in one of the matches, Emma Raducanu, a British female player with Chinese and Romanian roots, had the last laugh and defeated Renata Zarazua (Renata Zarazua) to enter the next round.
This is the 21-year-old's return to Wimbledon after a two-year absence, and although she won a Grand Slam at the US Open three years ago and became a big star, her form has been sluggish since then, but she may be able to turn things around this year.
Raducanu was reportedly up against Russia's 22nd seed Ekaterina Alexandrova, but she withdrew six hours before the tournament due to illness, leaving Sarasua on the bench.
Raducanu's match attracted a number of British celebrities, including former England international David Beckham. But the 49-year-old "heartthrob" didn't bring his equally well-known wife, but watched it with his mom Sandra.
The mother and son arrived early in the "Royal Box", a special audience reserved for celebrities. By the time the mother and son were seated, the others in the box had not yet arrived.
But soon the seats were full, and when a blonde lady entered, Beckham's expression pulled down the corners of his mouth, clearly showing the feeling of "I don't want to deal with her", and in the words of the British newspaper, "the atmosphere in the box was instantly tense".
In fact, Beckham did have a holiday with the lady named Katherine Jenkins, and it never resolved, and it was in a way "enemies".
Jenkins, 44, is a Welsh mezzo-soprano who appears regularly in opera and has released several albums since 2004 and has performed well in the UK and abroad.
It stands to reason that she and Beckham have little to do with each other, even if her record sales have surpassed that of the "Spice Girls". The quarrel between the two stems from the Order of the British Crown (abbreviation: OBE).
While Beckham also got it, it was already 2023, and Jenkins received the honor back in 2018 in recognition of her contributions to various charitable causes and her travels to the war zone to perform for the troops.
And in a private email that was "stolen" by hackers, Beckham said to his adviser: "Katherine Jenkins also deserves OBE?" It's just singing at a rugby game, visiting the troops, and she is smoking contraband, which is really a joke. ”
After the contents of the email were made public, Beckham responded that the email had been tampered with and "deliberately distorted the facts". But Jenkins said that Beckham's words were hurtful and hoped he would apologize, but she has not waited so far.
So even if you sit close to each other, there is no communication, and it is very cold.
Interestingly, before the OBE incident, Beckham was also rumored to be having an affair with Jenkins, but Jenkins was the first to stand up and refute it, saying, "I absolutely deny that I have an affair with David Beckham." "These rumors are very hurtful and untrue, and my lawyer told me that a lawsuit can be filed."
