Before the match got underway, Kate also met members of Wimbledon staff, including 18-year-old court services team member Jenna Fontanilla from Sutton, south London.
Describing the Princess, Ms Fontanilla said: "She's so genuine. It felt so easy. I thought I was going to be really nervous, but she made it so easy. The conversation was very natural."

Ms Fontanilla said: "She told me about how Louis was asking her about how to become a ball boy."
