Roger Federer has been spotted at Wimbledon a year after playing his last match in the quarter-finals here. The eight-time champion at the All England Club has returned to be apart of a special presentation to mark 100 years of Centre Court today.
Federer is back at Wimbledon almost exactly a year after playing his first match. There were rumours the Swiss tennis icon would be involved in a special presentation on Centre Court today, on what is the 100 year anniversary of the main showcourt and the first-ever Middle Sunday with play as part of the new tournament schedule.
And the eight-time champion at SW19 was spotted walking around the grounds in a suit on Sunday morning ahead of the ceremony, which takes place at 1.30pm. The tournament confirmed that the celebrations would take place ahead of play on the main court today, saying: “Celebrating the centenary of Centre Court at Church Road and looking ahead to what the next 100 years may bring is the focus of this year’s Wimbledon.
“On Sunday 3 July – the first time that Middle Sunday has been a permanent part of the event schedule – there will be a special ceremony taking place on Centre Court.”
