IT was another sweltering day for players, fans and A-listers alike at SW19 yesterday, as the tennis tournament nears its climax.

Hollywood stars Leonardo DiCaprio, 50, Benedict Cumberbatch, 48, and Rami Malek, 44, were spotted contending with the heat and several spectators needed medical care.

Wimbledon organisers urged caution after many fans required assistance on Centre Court amid the boiling conditions.

Temperatures hit 32C for the men's semis and will top 30C for the women's final today, between America's Amanda Anisimova and Iga Swiatek of Poland.

The Centre Court roof was pulled over further as a precaution to keep more fans in the shade, including the Royal Box, which hosted the likes of soon-to-be-departing-Vogue magazine editor Dame Anna Wintour, 75.

But the first semifinal was delayed in the second set, while two struggling spectators were treated for heat exhaustion.
