Harry Styles invites tennis pro to show after Wimbledon run canceled her concert plans | CPT PPP Coverage

It was an eventful weekend for British singer-songwriter Harry Styles, who’s on the European leg of his “Love on Tour” concert series. Hundreds of thousands of fans have come out to see the pop star perform from his latest album Harry’s House.

Ukrainian tennis player Elina Svitolina, ranked No. 76 in the world, had tickets to Styles’ show Saturday in Vienna, but her success at Wimbledon meant she couldn’t make it.

“I was supposed to go to see my fav [Harry Styles] concert in Vienna tomorrow … But Wimbledon changed my plans,” she wrote online. “Someone want to go? I have two tickets.”

Svitolina was busy preparing for her Sunday match against two-time Grand Slam winner Victoria Azarenka. It paid off as she booked her spot in the quarterfinals with a tight three-set win over the Belarusian. She called the victory the second happiest moment of her life after the birth of her daughter last October.

After the match, she was asked about missing the Styles concert, with the interviewer joking that the fourth-round victory is “a bit better than that, isn’t it?” Svitolina laughed and said, “I hope Harry is watching, maybe.”

It seems the “As It Was” singer might have been following along.

“Congratulations! We have four shows to go, you’re welcome at any of them. Good luck with the rest of the tournament,” Styles commented on a joint Instagram post between Wimbledon and Svitolina.

The four shows left in Styles’ tour are Barcelona on Wednesday, Madrid on Friday, Lisbon on July 18 and Reggio Emilia in Italy on July 22. So if Svitolina advances all the way to the women’s singles final on Saturday, she could still make it to a concert. Her next match is tomorrow on Centre Court against world No. 1 Iga Swiatek.

Styles might also have other things on his mind after this weekend. At the show Saturday in Vienna, he was struck in the face by an object when leaving the stage, as shown in an online video. Neither the singer nor his team have commented on the incident.

Fans from the D-FW area might remember a Harry Styles pop-up shop in downtown Dallas last May selling merchandise that promoted the Harry’s House album. The three-day event was one of just four in the United States, along with Los Angeles, New York City and Chicago. Styles last performed in Dallas September 2021.
