Portuguese tennis player Francisco Cabral wore a black ribbon at Wimbledon to honor the late Portuguese soccer star Diogo Jota, who died in a car accident with his brother. Initially wanting a black armband, Cabral received permission for the ribbon as a mark of respect. The All England Lawn Tennis Club (AELTC) approved the gesture, citing the tragic circumstances. Cabral won his first-round doubles match but lost in the second round. He expressed the honor of paying tribute to Jota, a significant figure in Portuguese sports.
