In 2013, Pippa even conducted an exclusive interview with the sporting ace shortly after she was appointed Contributing Editor for Vanity Fair. During the chat, the pair discussed what he eats for breakfast and whether the men's and women's champions have to dance together at the Wimbledon-ball after-party. She has been pictured on numerous occasions watching Roger play at Wimbledon from the Royal-box as well as seeing him at the ATP World Tour in London in 2014.

After the ceremony at St Mark's church, Pippa and James and their 300 guests moved on to Pippa's family home of Bucklebury Manor in Berkshire. The bride and groom's family and friends were treated to a "delicious" meal consisting of trout for starters, lamb for mains and cheesecake for dessert, HELLO! has learnt. The evening event carried on until the early hours in an impressive glass marquee set up in the grounds of the estate.
