Wimbledon: Emma Watson, Lewis Hamilton, Ewan McGregor, others congratulate Andy Murray




Wimbledon: Andy Murray and mum Judy meet Gerard Butler, hot-topic during the final


After his historic victory at Wimbledon, Andy Murray took a few minutes in today's busy schedule to meet actor Gerard Butler. "Meeting Gerard Butler after the match, really good guy!", said the new Wimbledon champ on social media just a few minutes ago. Mum Judy Murray also got to bond with the movie star. But we think that given the occasion it's more like Butler met Andy and Judy than the other way around :)

Before meeting Wimblemum and Wimblechamp, "Rocknrolla" star was a hot topic on Twitter. Wearing similar outfits, the Scottish actor and his fellow Hollywood star Bradley Cooper caught everyone's attention with their perky expressions during the men's final. They were also caught on TV stations taking selfies and the image quickly spread on Twitter during the final.

Here's a rundown of funny tweets about the Butler&Cooper male bonding:

Aegon Championship: David Nalbandian disqualified for kicking a line-judge

David Nalbandian was disqualified today for kicking a line-judge during the Aegon Championships final at Queen's, UK. The Argentine was playing against Croatia's Marin Cilic and leading the match by 7-6 (7-3) 3-4
According to BBC Sport, Nalbandian has already apologized for kicking an advertising board into the judge's shin, "but complains that the ATP do not apply their rules consistently".
Nalbandian immediately became a Twitter top trend. Pat McEnroe twitted "Incredible scenes, Pimm's being spilled everywhere. Crowd jeering. Cilic wins". He also retweeted a photo from @Alexandria that "says it all", and which we post below.
Fernando Verdasco spoke on Twitter in defense of Nalbadian. "What happened today at Queens is something I've never seen in my life. Nalbandian disqualified for accidentally hitting a line judge". The Spanish posted afterwards that "Nalbandian is a good person" and that he tried "to hit the advertising board not the judge".



Watch what happened in Queens.

Twitter goes wild over Ana Ivanovic

Ana Ivanovic was a topic trend this afternoon on Twitter. The hashtag #Ana Ivanovic placed 7th in the world top trends on Twitter, during and after the first-round match she played against Spaniard Lara Arruabarrena-Vecino (6-1 6-1), at the French Open.

Male fans started trending, mostly, about the Serbian's beauty. A French fan wrote "Always good to see Ana Ivanovic getting a win! #FrenchOpen", while another one admitted he would "seriously marry Ana Ivanovic on the spot".

Users pointed out how the seed No.13 is "too yummy for words", "ultra hot", "damn cute" and "guapa" (beautiful in spanish). For some, she is definitely the "most beautiful player in tennis" and "has the best legs on tour right now" (although the same user assures that the best legs of all time belong to Steffi Graf :).

Twitters were also praising the Serbian for signing autographs "to almost everyone", just after her match.

In an interview to CNN, Ivanovic said she is determined to win the title once again at Roland Garros. Check out the interview and profile made by reporter Pedro Pinto.
