AceShowbiz - Rapper Drake has proved he still has love for his ex Serena Williams by cheering on the tennis superstar at Wimbledon on Tuesday, July 10.
The God's Plan hitmaker was romantically linked to Serena back in 2011 and again in 2015, when he last sat courtside at the top London tournament to support the sports icon as she secured her sixth U.K. championship win and her 21st major title.
This week, after his surprise set at the U.K.'s Wireless Festival on Sunday, July 08, Drake was back at Wimbledon as he attended Serena's quarterfinal match against Italy's Camila Giorgi.
Drake was photographed smiling in the stands as Serena came back from losing the first set to claim victory over Giorgi, earning her place in the semifinals.

Serena and Drake have been friendly for some time, and even sparked rumours of an engagement three years ago - claims William's representative shot down.
"Serena Williams and Drake are not engaged," the spokesperson told GossipCop.com at the time. "They are simply longtime friends."
The star athlete went on to marry Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian last year (17). They are parents to 10-month-old daughter Alexis Olympia.
