KATE Middleton was a bundle of laughs at Wimbledon today as she geared up to watch the men's final with her dad Michael Middleton.
The Duchess of Cambridge couldn't help but giggle as a Mexican wave made its way through the stands - in eager anticipation of Novak Djokoic's clash with Matteo Berrettini this afternoon.

The duchess was cheering on Gordon Reid and Joachim Gerard in the Gentlemen's Wheelchair Singles Final, sat alongside dad Michael and CEO of the Lawn Tennis Association, Scott Lloyd.
She and her dad later took their seats in the Royal box on Centre Court where Novak Djokovic will take on Matteo Berrettini.
Kate's dad Michael is taking the place of Prince William, who will be busy roaring on the Three Lions at Wembley tonight for the Euro 2020 final.
The dad and daughter duo could get their own slice of history as Djokoic attempts to equal the current record number of Grand Slam wins.
Djokoic has currently won 19 Grand Slams and victory today will see him equal Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer's joint-record of 20.
And Kate was seen crossing her fingers in hope this afternoon as she chatted to tennis fans ahead of the match.
It comes after keen tennis fan Kate, who is patron of the All England Lawn Tennis Club, presented trophies to the winner of the ladies singles Ash Barty yesterday and runner up Czech finalist Karolina Pliskova.
She later congratulated the pair on Twitter for playing an "incredible match".
The Duchess tweeted: "It was amazing to see the atmosphere and support from the fans echoing through centre court once again."
Kate, who has regularly attended the Wimbledon championships since her marriage to William in 2011, watched yesterday's match in the royal box alongside Wills.
It marked her first public appearance since she was alerted by the NHS App while watching tennis at Wimbledon last Friday.
Kate was pinged after taking her seat for a match and left straight away at around 4pm before Briton Dan Evans took to the court.
She spent seven days in isolation but returned to public engagements yesterday afternoon, watching Australian first seed Ashleigh Barty take on world No. 13 Karolina Pliskova.
And the duchess was clearly enjoying her new-found freedom as she chatted away to those around her before the match.
She and Wills were joined in the Royal Box by the Duke of Kent - who will present his last trophy tomorrow before stepping down as president of the All England Club after 52 years.
Also watching on was Tom Cruise with his Mission Impossible co-star Hayley Atwell, actress Priyanka Chopra and British tennis prodigy Emma Raducanu.
It was 18-year-old Raducanu's first time back at Wimbledon since she was forced to retire from her fourth-round clash against Alja Tomljanovic with breathing difficulties.
