As Wimbledon‘s final matches inch closer and closer, antsy viewers are prepared to watch the best tennis players in the world—like Serena Williams and Rafael Nadal—battle it out on the court. But until then, you can enjoy a look at some of tennis’s best-known amateurs, such as Prince Harry, Justin Bieber, Barack Obama, and Bradley Cooper. Not everyone can be a champion, but that is more than okay, especially for these celebrities who are doing their best to serve (and volley and backhand and lob) on the court for charity. Here, a collection of celebrities enjoying themselves on the court, from Prince Harry to Justin Bieber.
