The French Open final on Sunday between Rafael Nadal and Casper Rudd attracted the attention of not only the tennis world, but some very famous names across all walks of life.

Spanish great Nadal set out to become the oldest man - at the age of 36 - to win the French Open title. It has been a remarkable journey following his title winning debut in Paris 17 years back. What made the title match more significant is the fact Nadal was surprised to last this long; a chronic left foot injury flared up again in Rome last month and put a question mark over him even making it to the French capital.

But he did step on to the court at Roland Garros, taking on world No 8 Ruud, 23, who became the first Norwegian to reach a Grand Slam final.

Watching the clash at Court Philippe Chatrier were a number celebrities, including Hollywood stars Hugh Grant, Michael Douglas and Demi Moore and some European royalty, including Spain's King Felipe VI, Norway's Crown Prince Haakon, and Crown Princess Mette-Marit.

What is Reform?

Reform is a right-wing, populist party led by Nigel Farage, a former MEP who won a seat in the House of Commons last year at his eighth attempt and a prominent figure in the campaign for the UK to leave the European Union.

It was founded in 2018 and originally called the Brexit Party.

Many of its members previously belonged to UKIP or the mainstream Conservatives.

After Brexit took place, the party focused on the reformation of British democracy.

Former Tory deputy chairman Lee Anderson became its first MP after defecting in March 2024.

The party gained support from Elon Musk, and had hoped the tech billionaire would make a £100m donation. However, Mr Musk changed his mind and called for Mr Farage to step down as leader in a row involving the US tycoon's support for far-right figurehead Tommy Robinson who is in prison for contempt of court.
