David Beckham just can't get any cooler, can he? The former England captain looked perfectly at home in the Royal Box at Wimbledon as he watched Jamie Murray, brother of former singles champion Andy, join forces with John Peers to defeat Jonathan Erlich and Philipp Petzschner on Thursday and book their place in the men's doubles final.

However, unfortunately for the elder of the Murray brothers, it was Beckham who stole the show, and then some.

The global superstar found his moment to shine when Peers was serving in the opening game of the second set. As his serve was declared out, the ball ricocheted off one of the line judges’ chairs and into the crowd.

The crowd immediately burst into applause while Beckham soaked up all of the adulation that came his way, finding it impossible not to smile as everyone went crazy around him. Even the players momentarily paused to clap Beckham, but then he is David Beckham.
