The 41-year-old actor, who is best known for playing Sheldon Cooper on The Big Bang Theory, was cheering on Canadian tennis player Eugenie Bouchard in her match against France's Alize Cornet. Taking his seat in the royal box, Jim looked cool as a cucumber in his black shades and immactulate navy suit.

" It's my favourite show," the 20-year-old tennis ace said of Jim's hit show. "His character is my favourite character. So it's amazing that he's a fan of me 'cause I'm like the biggest fan of him. "He's e-mailed me after every single match I've played. He's more positive than all of my team combined. So it's a refreshing change to get a nice e-mail with exclamation marks and smiley faces."
