- Portuguese tennis player Francisco Cabral wore a black ribbon at Wimbledon to honour Liverpool player Diogo Jota.
- Diogo Jota and his brother, Andre Silva, died in a car crash in Spain on Thursday.
- Cabral stated it was an "honour" to wear the ribbon after Wimbledon officials rejected his initial request to wear a black armband due to the tournament's strict all-white dress code.
- Cabral described Jota as an "inspiration" not only for him but for Portugal as a whole.
- British doubles player Neal Skupski, a Liverpool fan, also considered wearing a black armband but chose not to, though he may do so later in the Championships.
