Battle of the celebrity friends! From Bradley Cooper to Karlie Kloss, how Serena Williams and Roger Federer have the most A-listers in their corner at Wimbledon... while Andy relies on Kim and his mum
- Serena's player's box has boasted an impressive entourage throughout
- John Legend, Chrissy Teigen, Karlie Kloss and Drake are all fans of player
- Anna Wintour and Bradley Cooper have been cheering on Roger Federer
- Meanwhile Andy Murray relied on his wife Kim and mother Judy for support
This year the players' boxes at Wimbledon are attracting as much attention as the action on court itself - as the seats, usually reserved for family, are filled with celebrities.
From Oscar-nominated actors to Grammy-winning singers and catwalk supermodels, the top seeds have invited the A-list to cheer them on from the stands.
Serena Williams, who's corner has been almost as glitzy as the royal box, has proved herself to have the most starry contacts - closely followed by Roger Federer.
While Andy Murray's wife and mother have been the only famous faces in his area.

Serena Williams, pictured beating Maria Sharapova on Centre Court yesterday, has had the most number of famous faces in her box at Wimbledon
Come on Serena! The American's player's box was packed with stars earlier this week when supermodel Karlie Kloss (second row, second right) joined Chrissy Teigen and John Legend (second and third left) and rapper Drake (third row, second right)

Drake smiles in the box as Serena wins her semi-final clash yesterday. He later attended her press conference where the tennis champ said he was 'like family'
Rapper Drake has been Serena's most avid fan, supporting her in three of her appearances as she progressed to the final of the grand slam.
Asked in the press conference after her semi-final victory (which Drake also attended) if he was her 'lucky mascot', the world number one replied: 'We've been friends for, like, so many years. He's just like family.'

Serena's other close friends include models Karlie Kloss and Chrissy Teigen. They sat in her corner on Centre Court on Tuesday, sipping Pimms as she played her quarter-final match.
Chrissy was joined by her fiance John Legend. The Grammy award-winning singer seemed more interested in his pretty partner than the match though, showering her with kisses and, at one point, yawning as Serena battled it out for her sixth Wimbledon title.
Singer Ciara is another Serena fan who clapped and cheered her on in her semi-final match
One star who did get into the spirit of Serena's match though was singer Ciara.
She shouted, clapped, cheered and punched her fist in the air as Serena beat her arch-rival Maria Sharapova for a place in the final on Thursday.
Ciara looked very much at home in Serena's player's box alongside her family, including her tennis champion sister Venus.
Another singer spotted in Serena's corner this week was British singer Natasha Bedingfield, making the American number one seed the most popular player with celebrities.
But not far behind her was Swiss ace Roger Federer.
Roger Federer's wife Mirka is joined by actor Bradley Cooper as she takes her seat for her husband's quarter final match on Wednesday
Tennis fan Bradley avidly followed the match alongside Mirka, rarely taking his eyes off the court
The pair were pictured chatting and joking to one another in between games
Vogue editor Anna Wintour is another friend of Federer's and joined Mirka in the player's box last weekend to watch him play
Federer has made it through to the semi-finals at Wimbledon with the support of his famous friends
His wife Mirka was joined by Hangover star Bradley Cooper when he played his quarter final match on Court One on Wednesday.
The Oscar-nominated actor is a keen tennis fan and avidly watched every point the world number two played from his prime seat.
In between games, he happily chatted to Mirka and he was later pictured going out for a meal wearing a Federer-branded baseball cap.

And Bradley isn't Federer's only A-list pal. He is also close friends with Anna Wintour who sat behind Mirka to watch Roger play earlier this week.
Perhaps the tennis star was returning the favour as the couple have secured front row seats at catwalk shows during New York Fashion Week in the past.
Meanwhile, British designer Stella McCartney was backing Novak Djokovic in his semi-final match against Richard Gasquet. She was seen looking tense when the points didn't go his way, but clapped and cheered with his wife Jelena Djokovic, who sat in front of her in the player's box, when he won to secure his place in the final.
In contrast, Britain's number one Andy Murray, who lost to Roger for a place in the final yesterday, has a much less starry backing.
The most famous faces in his box for all his matches have been his wife Kim and tennis coach mother Judy.
However he has been getting plenty of support from famous fans on Twitter with Rory McIlroy and Olly Murs among those tweeting him this week.
