Former England captain and Manchester United midfielder David Beckham attended the Wimbledon championships on Wednesday as weather continued to play spoilsport. Beckham sat in the royal box with his mother Sandra, 74, as Russian 11th seed Daria Kasatkina faced Britain's Jodie Burrage. Also in attendance were English golfer Luke Donald and TV personality Bear Grylls. It was a rather grim day at Wimbledon as rain caused havoc again. Intermittent showers on Wednesday forced matches on the outside courts to be suspended twice, while play in the main stadiums was also stopped because of the weather. Only Centre Court and No1 Court at the All England Club have roofs. Top-seeded woman Iga Swiatek and defending men's champion Novak Djokovic were both scheduled to play on Centre Court.
