LONDON — British players are always guaranteed enthusiastic support from home fans at Wimbledon but not often do they receive royal support when playing on an outside court. Wildcard Harriet Dart was probably surprised, therefore, when she looked up to see the Duchess of Cambridge sat in the front row of seats on Court 14 on Tuesday. Tennis fan Kate, wife of Prince William, was due in Centre Court’s Royal Box later to watch defending champion Angelique Kerber’s opener and Wimbledon king Roger Federer in her role as patron of the All England Club. Not surprisingly there were more photographers than usual for such a low-key tussle, most with their lenses trained on the duchess, wearing an elegant white dress. She was joined by British Fed Cup captain Anne Keothavong.
