Rapper Drake attends day eight of the Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Championships at All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club on July 10, 2018 in London, England.

Drake shows support for a former fling at Wimbledon.

Drake's fresh off the release of his latest project Scorpion which has done some incredible numbers on Billboard and through streaming services. The rapper was teasing the project for a minute so we could only expect that after it dropped, the rapper took some time before he had to hit the road for his co-headlining tour with Migos. Over the weekend, the rapper hit the Wireless Festival stage in the U.K. for a brief set where he performed several Scorpion songs for the first time. It seems like during his stay in the U.K., he decided to hit the Wimbledon and show some support for his former fling.

Drake clearly has no hard feelings towards his ex, Serena Williams, as he was spotted showing love to her during her match against Camila Giorgi in the Wimbledon quarter finals, according to TMZ. They say the rapper was cheering her on during the match. The two of them have a history together so it's clear that neither harbor any hard feelings towards each other. I mean, they've both seemed to move on with their lives and have children. No word on whether Serena's husband, Alexis Ohanian was in the crowd.
