WImbledon diary 2013: day two Serena Williams commented that the former president had been black at a time "where maybe it wasn't the best moment to be black in South Africa," and suggested that we can all take inspiration from his "stellar, like, life." Not to be outdone, Maria Sharapova admitted she had never met the man, but added that "the people that have met him have said some incredibly nice things about him."

Stephens has good korma American Sloane Stephens has an alternative approach to nutrition - a curry diet. The female game's next big thing has been dining out at the Rajdoot restaurant in Wimbledon every night, making a mockery of the need for post-match ice baths and protein shakes. She was keen to leave her press conference after her first-round win over Jamie Hampton on Tuesday, with a chicken korma calling out her name. "You guys have got to go," she told the assembled media. I go there every night. It's tasty. I really love it, it's the only Indian that has everything. They have coconut naan, poppadoms without seeds in them. It's a plus. I'm committed to them. They like me.
