Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex and friend to tennis pro Serena Williams, made a surprise appearance at day four of Wimbledon to watch Williams play in her second round match.

This is Markle’s second time at Wimbledon as a royal; she attended last summer as well with Kate Middleton. Middleton attended this year’s Wimbledon on Tuesday, watching British player Harriet Dart defeat the U.S.’s Christina McHale.

Williams, ranked the number 10 tennis player in the world, played against Slovenia’s Kaja Juvan, ranked number 133, on Thursday. Williams won the second round match in the third set, 2-6 6-2 6-4. Markle attended the game with two friends Genevieve Hills and Lindsay Roth.
