The stars are out in full force during the Aussie swing!

A day after the likes of Aryna Sabalenka and Jordan Thompson were left starstruck by actor Jude Law in Brisbane, cameras in Sydney spotted another famous tennis fan taking in the action.

Actress Rebel Wilson enjoyed a courtside view of Australia’s thrilling United Cup semifinal tie against Germany, which went down to the wire in the mixed doubles decider.

The Pitch Perfect and Bridesmaids star watched Ajla Tomljanovic go toe-to-toe with the resurgent Angelique Kerber, who saved match points to pull off a 4-6, 6-2, 7-6 (7) victory for Germany. Alex de Minaur soon got Team Australia back on track, taking down Alexander Zverev 5-7, 6-3, 6-4 to level the tie.

His victory also marked a milestone for Aussie tennis, as de Minaur’s career week—which included a stunner over world No. 1 Novak Djokovic—means he will become the first Aussie man in 18 years to break into the ATP Tour’s Top 10 rankings come Monday. The last Aussie to achieve the feat? None other than former No. 1 Lleyton Hewitt, Team Australia’s current United Cup coach.

"It’s what I’ve worked so hard for. It’s another milestone. But the job’s not done," De Minaur said. "I’m going to enjoy this Aussie summer, that’s for sure."

Unfortunately for Wilson and the rest of the Aussie faithful inside Ken Rosewall Arena, the green and gold came up short in the deciding doubles. Zverev teamed up with Laura Siegemund to defeat Matt Ebden and Storm Hunter 7-6 (2), 6-7 (2), 15-13, sending Germany into the final where Hubert Hurkacz and Iga Swiatek’s Poland awaits.

Wilson gave a shoutout to Team Australia on her Instagram Stories after the match:

“Alex de Minaur, Matt Reid, Lleyton Hewitt, Bec Hewitt and kids! Thanks for a great night!” she wrote.

It won’t be long before Wilson is back near a tennis court: She’s set to star in the upcoming tennis comedy *Double Fault*, which is currently in production.
