Her name is Sofia Krunic. I went on her Instagram page earlier today and it was public and now she’s private. Kinda sad people are bashing her. She’s an event manager so it’s for work. Harry also has his pleasing bag which we know is used for pap walks anyway. So it’s obviously nothing serious.
It’s a whole lot of nothing. People shouldn’t be attacking her but I was under the impression that her profile was private until the pics hit. Then she went public for a bit and then back to private. Probably got more than she expected.

DM already indentified the woman and posted her name in the new headline. She works at Chiltern firehouse and is the event manager so Harry knows her like everyone that has ever made an event there or that goes there frequently.
Ah that makes sense. Thank you nonnie!

She's Sofia Krunic head of an important Events company, / She’s the events manager, not head of the company. Those are two very different things 😉

Oh, man. Harry’s fans were so threatened by those pics with that girl, that an anon came to reassure them with the usual “receipt” “harry was there for gemma’s wedding. He’s organizing it at that place. The woman he was hugging, is the like wedding planner. “Gemma’s wedding rehearsal at Chiltren Firehouse? GEMMA IS GETTING MARRIED???? OMG!! How do you know this anon? 🧐So that’s what Harry was doing in the pap pics ? Is Sofia Krunic working with the wedding planners? She’s Head of Events at Chiltren Firehouse, so is she working with the wedding?”
OMG!! 🤦🏻♀️
So, Harry (the most recognizable member of the Styles family), not Gemma and Anne as bride-to-be and mother-of-the-bride, goes to the celebrity hotspot, where he is sure to be spotted by paps, to publicly plan an event for Gemma's wedding, which will then surely put his rabid fans on alert and make then stalk that place. When Gemma, Anne, and Michal could have quietly planned the whole thing themselves and the fandom would have known nothing about it until afterwards because they aren't followed by paps nor would they be photographed leaving a place that paps frequent unless they are with Harry.
Also, since when did it become fandom knowledge that Gemma was even engaged? Has she even been photographed wearing an engagement ring? Or is this just something a random fan made up to make themselves feel better because Harry was pictured next to a girl?

What to Watch Saturday at the French Open
Serena Williams vs. Sofia Kenin
Williams received a comfortable welcome to the tournament, facing players ranked 83rd and 238th in her first two matches. She has a far sterner test in the third round against Kenin, a 20-year-old American who has steadily climbed the rankings to her current spot, No. 35. As a child, Kenin trained with Rick Macci, the same coach with whom Williams spent many of her teenage years. She will know Williams’s game well. This match will close Saturday’s play on the main Philippe Chatrier Court, probably so it can be in NBC’s broadcast window for the American audience.
The Italian Men
Italy, never considered a traditional power in tennis, has assembled the largest contingent within the ATP Top 250 of any country, with 23. Two of them will play on Saturday. The qualifier Salvatore Caruso, ranked 147th, will take on No. 1 Novak Djokovic in the second match on Chatrier. The ninth-seeded Fabio Fognini, the country’s top player, will open Saturday’s play on Suzanne Lenglen Court, facing 18th-seeded Roberto Bautista Agut.
Lesia Tsurenko vs. The Age 30
Tsurenko began her second-round win over Aleksandra Krunic on her 30th birthday. Rather than a cause for celebration, the milestone became an existential millstone. “I had so many things in my head that I would say it was one of the worst days of my life,” Tsurenko said of turning 30, after she won the postponed third set, 11-9, on Friday. Tsurenko will be 30 years 2 days old when she opens Saturday’s play on Philippe Chatrier Court (5 a.m.) against the defending champion, Simona Halep. Tsurenko has never beaten Halep in six previous matches, but this is their first match on clay.
Alexander Zverev vs. Dusan Lajovic
The fifth-seeded Zverev, well acquainted with long matches, will have a particular feeling of déjà vu on Saturday in the first match on Simonne Mathieu Court (5 a.m.), where he will face Dusan Lajovic. Zverev needed five sets to beat Lajovic in the second round at Roland Garros last year. Lajovic, seeded 30th, is a more proven player than he was a year ago, having reached the final of the Monte Carlo Masters in April.
Amanda Anisimova vs. Illness
Of the eight seeds in her quarter of the draw, Simona Halep is the only one who reached the third round. Anisimova, the 17-year-old American who defeated the 11th-seeded Aryna Sabalenka in the second round, has a good opportunity to make her first Grand Slam quarterfinal. She plays the last match of the day on Court 1, against Irina-Camelia Begu. But Anisimova withdrew from her doubles match on Friday with a viral infection, which could prove a factor in her ability to seize the day.

Australian Open 2019: Women's bracket, schedule, scores, and results
Will Serena Williams get title No. 24, or will someone like Naomi Osaka unseat her again? We have streaming info, results and more for the 2019 Australian Open.
Serena Williams isn’t ranked as the top player in the world anymore, but she continues to get back into shape and top form and looks prepared for a deep run at the Australian Open in 2019. Williams is trying to reach 24 Grand Slam titles, which would tie her with Margaret Court for the most all-time (Williams’ 23 is already a record for the Open Era).
But of course, Williams will have plenty of tough competition for the tournament, which begins on Sunday, Jan. 13. She has Naomi Osaka, the woman who beat her in the final of the US Open last year, and Caroline Wozniacki, who is the defending Australian Open champion.
Simona Halep, the top seed, finally earned her first Grand Slam win when she won the French Open a year ago, and was the one to lose to Wozniacki in the Australian Open final last year. Williams is the 16th seed for the tournament, while Wozniacki is the third seed and Osaka is the fourth seed.
The other big names you’d expect to see, like Sloane Stephens, Petra Kvitova, Elina Svitolina, Madison Keys, Garbine Muguruza and pletny of others are also among the top 32 seeds on the women’s side.
Below is a full bracket, schedule, and results, which will be updated throughout the tournament.
Viewing information
The schedule for the Australian Open is very similar to how it’s been in recent years. For those in the United States, it can be a tricky major to follow, with matches beginning in the late evening and running until the morning of the following day. Unless stated otherwise, times ascribed to dates in the evening which end in the morning are ending the following day.
Through the first three rounds, play will begin around 7 p.m. ET on one day and will end around 7 a.m. the following day. “Monday” at the Australian Open is Monday proper for those in Melbourne, but begins on Sunday evening for those in the United States, with play wrapping up on Monday morning.
ESPN will handle the bulk of television and live streaming coverage of the event. Unfortunately, all courts are no longer free on WatchESPN, with some courts and matches (including doubles finals) locked behind a subscription to ESPN+, a seven-day free trial of which can be found here.

NEW YORK | The Latest: Cilic edges de Minaur as match ends past 2 a.m.
New Post has been published on https://is.gd/pRAR3W
NEW YORK | The Latest: Cilic edges de Minaur as match ends past 2 a.m.
NEW YORK — The Latest on the U.S. Open tennis tournament (all times local): 2:22 a.m.
Marin Cilic, the 2014 U.S. Open champion, needed eight match points to recover from a two-set deficit and eventually edge 19-year-old Alex de Minaur 4-6, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4, 7-5 at 2:22 a.m., four minutes shy of the latest finish in the tournament’s history.
The No. 7 seed Cilic and 45th-ranked de Minaur didn’t even start their third-round match at Louis Armstrong Stadium until after 10 p.m., because of day-session matches that ran long Saturday.
Cilic quickly dropped the first two sets before turning things around for his sixth career comeback after trailing by two sets to none. ___ 1:25 a.m.
No. 7 seed Marin Cilic, the 2014 U.S. Open champion, and 19-year-old Alex de Minaur are heading to a fifth set in their third-round match.
Cilic dropped the opening two sets 6-4, 6-3, before tying the match by taking the next two 6-3, 6-4.
They have been playing for a little more than 3 hours in Louis Armstrong Stadium.
Because of lengthy matches during the day session, they didn’t start playing until about 10:20 p.m.
Now they could approach — or surpass — the record for latest finish in a U.S. Open match: 2:26 a.m. ___ 11:20 p.m.
Novak Djokovic moved closer to a possible U.S. Open quarterfinal against Roger Federer with an efficient 6-2, 6-3, 6-3 victory over No. 26 Richard Gasquet in the third round.
Djokovic saved all five break points he faced.
He is now 13-1 for his career against Gasquet, including 11 wins in a row.
Djokovic has won two of his 13 Grand Slam titles at Flushing Meadows. He’ll face Joao Sousa of Portugal in the fourth round Monday. Win that, and a meeting with 20-time major champion Roger Federer could be next. ___ 10 p.m.
Add two-time Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova to the growing list of highly seeded women who keep losing U.S. Open matches at new Louis Armstrong Stadium.
The No. 5-seeded Kvitova is a big hitter, but she was overpowered by 26th-seeded Aryna Sabalenka of Belarus 7-5, 6-1 in the third round.
Sabalenka made only 15 errors, 20 fewer than Kvitova, and won 12 of 13 points she served in the second set.
The 20-year-old Sabalenka never had been past the second round of a Grand Slam tournament. But now she’s in the fourth at Flushing Meadows.
Kvitova’s exit means that 10 of the top 13 seeds are out of the women’s draw. And a bunch of them, including No. 1 Simona Halep, No. 2 Caroline Wozniacki and No. 4 Angelique Kerber, all were eliminated at Armstrong, which is making its debut this year. ___ 8:50 p.m.
Five-time major champion Maria Sharapova returned to the U.S. Open’s fourth round by beating No. 10 seed Jelena Ostapenko 6-3, 6-2.
The 22nd-seeded Sharapova got plenty of help: 2017 French Open champion Ostapenko hit 41 unforced errors and only 10 winners.
Sharapova won the 2006 title at Flushing Meadows, but she’s only been past the fourth round once since then.
Ostapenko’s exit left only four of the top 13 women’s seeds in the draw. ___ 7:45 p.m.
No. 4 seed Alexander Zverev has made another Week 1 exit at the U.S. Open, losing this time to 34th-ranked Philipp Kohlschreiber 6-7 (1), 6-4, 6-1, 6-3 in an all-German matchup in the third round.
The 21-year-old Zverev is considered a rising star of men’s tennis.
He already has won three Masters titles in his career and leads the tour with 45 wins this season.
But he has only one Grand Slam quarterfinal appearance so far, at this year’s French Open, and he’s now 4-4 at the U.S. Open. In four appearances at Flushing Meadows, he has one loss in the first round, two in the second, and one in the third. ___ 6:30 p.m.
Althea Gibson will be permanently honored with a monument on the grounds of the National Tennis Center next year.
U.S. Tennis Association President Katrina Adams announced the monument Saturday with Eric Goulder, who will build the sculpture.
Adams says Gibson is an icon in the sport, someone who “was truly diverse in her own thinking and her abilities.”
USTA spokesman Chris Widmaier says the location for the statue has not been finalized and artist renderings are unavailable because Goulder “is still in the creative process.”
Adams says her team will survey the grounds to put it somewhere visible.
Gibson was the first African-American woman to win the French Open (1956), the U.S. Open (1957 and 1958), and Wimbledon (1957 and 1958). ____ 5:40 p.m.
Naomi Osaka swept her way into the fourth round of the U.S. Open for the first time, beating Aliaksandra Sasnovich 6-0, 6-0.
The No. 20 seed from Japan needed just 50 minutes, 25 per set, to eliminate the 33rd-ranked player from Belarus.
Osaka has reached at least the third round in six straight Grand Slam tournaments, the longest current streak on tour. She lost in that round in Flushing Meadows the last two years. ___ 4:30 p.m.
Roger Federer’s 51 winners included one jaw-dropping flick around the net post and he got through a tough early spot to get past Nick Kyrgios 6-4, 6-1, 7-5 and reach the fourth round in a 17th consecutive U.S. Open appearance.
The outcome might very well have been decided with Federer serving at 3-all, love-40, less than 20 minutes in. He saved four break points in that game — and then never faced another.
In the 30th-seeded Kyrgios’ previous match, the chair umpire climbed down from his seat to have a chat with the Australian’s seeming lack of effort. There was no such visit during this match.
The No. 2-seeded Federer has won five of his record 20 Grand Slam titles at Flushing Meadows, but his most recent U.S. Open trophy arrived a decade ago.
He’ll face 55th-ranked John Millman of Australia next. It’s the first time Millman has reached the fourth round at any major tournament. ___ 4:10 p.m.
Wimbledon champion Angelique Kerber has been eliminated, leaving none of this year’s Grand Slam winners left in the U.S. Open.
No. 29 seed Dominika Cibulkova rallied Saturday to beat the fourth-seeded Kerber 3-6, 6-3, 6-3, leaving only one of the top-four seeds on the women’s side in the tournament after three rounds.
Top-ranked Simona Halep, the French Open champion, was eliminated in the first round. Australian Open champion Caroline Wozniacki, the No. 2 seed, fell in the second.
Only No. 3 seed and defending champion Sloane Stephens remains among the top-four seeds. ___ 2:15 p.m.
Madison Keys rallied after dropping the first set and the U.S. Open finalist from a year ago beat Aleksandra Krunic 4-6, 6-1, 6-2.
Keys lost to Sloane Stephens in the final last year and lost to her again this year in the French Open semis. But Keys has been plagued with injuries for most of the season and slipped out of the top 10 in the rankings.
The 14th-seeded Keys looked out of sorts in the first set but she was resilient the rest of the way and won 12 of the last 15 games. She said she was nervous — she even whiffed on an overhead — but thanked the crowd for pulling her through into the round of 16. ___ 1:50 p.m.
The youngest player left in the women’s field is through to the fourth round.
Marketa Vondrousova upset No. 13 seed Kiki Bertens 7-6 (4), 2-6, 7-6 (1) in the first match completed Saturday at Louis Armstrong Stadium.
The 19-year-old Vondrousova was one of two teenagers to reach the third round, along with American Sofia Kenin. Kenin was knocked out Friday by No. 8 seed Karolina Pliskova.
Vondrousova was one of six Czechs, including Pliskova, to reach the third round. She could meet another, Katerina Siniakova, in the round of 16. Siniakova played Lesia Tsurenko later Saturday. ___ 11:50 a.m.
Roger Federer’s matches against Nick Kyrgios have been as close as can be.
So the five-time U.S. Open champion could be tested in trying to reach the fourth round when he meets Kyrgios for the first time in a Grand Slam tournament.
The No. 2 seed has played the No. 30 seed three times on tour, all decided by a third-set tiebreaker. Federer won twice, including a victory this year in a Wimbledon tuneup.
Kyrgios’ second-round win at the Open caused a stir. The chair umpire left his seat to talk with the Australian, who was putting forth little effort while dropping the first set and falling behind 3-0 in the second. Federer was among those critical of the umpire’s conduct.
Federer is one of five seeded men in the top 10 playing Saturday. The others are No. 4 Alexander Zverev, No. 6 Novak Djokovic, No. 7 Marin Cilic and No. 10 David Goffin.
Wimbledon champion Angelique Kerber and 2018 runner-up Madison Keys are on the women’s schedule, along with 2006 U.S. Open titlist Maria Sharapova facing 10th-seeded Jelena Ostapenko.
