The crowds at Wimbledon’s Centre Court tend to represent the moneyed class, the winners in the modern economy. And this was especially so on the third Sunday in July. The fans included all manner of billionaire, including royalty—Prince William and King Felipe VI of Spain were in attendance—and sporting titans. Ariana Grande sat a few rows from Daniel Craig, who sat a few rows from Hugh Jackman.
The A-list quotient was such that, absent from the Royal Box, Brad Pitt—Brad Friggin’ Pitt—was exiled to sit in front of the press section. Which left bloggers, podcasters and deadline writers in the novel and unlikely positioning of maneuvering their gaze around the world’s most spectacularly coiffed head of hair to watch the action.
