D’Angela Mortimer, la doyenne (90 ans), titrée en 1961, à Novak Djokovic, six fois couronné et tenant du titre, une vingtaine d’anciens vainqueurs ont ainsi fait leur apparition sur le Centre Court et sous un beau soleil.

Instead of the mandatory all-white playing uniform, Federer wore a dark suit and tie, his purple Wimbledon member’s badge pinned to a jacket lapel. “But it’s great to be here with ... all the other champions.

Before Sunday’s matches, Wimbledon held a ceremony celebrating 100 years of Centre Court at Church Road, which opened in 1922.

Il a disputé son dernier match le 7 juillet 2021, un revers de 6-3, 7-6 (4), 6-0 subi sur le court central contre Hubert Hurkacz en quarts de finale. Je ne pensais pas que ce serait aussi long pour effectuer mon retour à la compétition. Mais mon genou m'a causé beaucoup d'ennuis, a-t-il mentionné à la foule. Federer, qui aura 41 ans le 8 août, est à l'écart du jeu depuis un an en raison de problèmes à un genou. C'est étrange d'être ici, aujourd'hui, dans un rôle différent, a déclaré Federer, qui avait participé au tournoi chaque année depuis son entrée dans le tableau principal en 1999. J'aurais adoré y participer (au tournoi). Je savais en quittant le terrain ici l'an dernier que l'année qui suivrait serait difficile. J'espère que c'est ce que j'ai fait», a évoqué Federer, qui a établi un record masculin avec huit de ses 20 titres du Grand Chelem acquis en carrière au All England Club, et qui fut ovationné par les spectateurs pour l'occasion.

Roger Federer said he wants to play Wimbledon "one more time," speaking on Centre Court on a ceremony marking the court's 100 years.

“The knee has been rough on me, but I’ve been happy. “I’ve missed being here. The record eight-time men’s singles champion underwent a third knee surgery in an 18-month span after a quarterfinal exit at last year’s Wimbledon. He said last fall that he expected to be out through this year’s Wimbledon.

When the ATP and WTA rankings are next released, Serena Williams and Roger Federer will be unranked. We asked our experts whether either of them will be ...

I'd be surprised if she wants that to be her last performance at Wimbledon and expect to see her at the US Open. But there's a lot of work to be done for her to be competitive. All that being said, he is still Federer, and despite the fact that he has been injury prone and would be 41 before he makes a comeback, he will still try to make the comeback count. Maine: It would be incredible for the sport if either one of them was able, and I love the enthusiasm here about their futures, but I sadly just don't see it. The tour is more rigorous now than ever, but there is still room for the old guard to put the youngsters back in their place. I have no doubt that is his goal and he is doing everything he can to achieve it, but he's been away from the game on a regular basis for quite a while now and playing consistent tour-level tennis is a lot to ask of an almost-41-year-old knee that has undergone three surgeries in recent years. So if he makes it back to the court as planned, I assume we'll see a pretty good version of him. Even though she hinted she might play at the US Open after her loss on Tuesday, I can't shake the suspicion we really might not see her play again and this was her unofficial goodbye. When you officially pass the point of no return from an age perspective, it's your footwork that starts to go first -- not on every shot, of course, but more and more frequently. I think that her performance at Wimbledon was not surprising as it's been a year since she's played a match, but I suspect we will see her play through the US Open and hopefully with some success. She needs to come in mentally strong and in "fighting" shape. She needs to adjust her approach to preparing for a Grand Slam. Everyone wants to beat her, especially at this point in her career. Williams looked like she did not have enough time to prepare properly for Wimbledon, but maybe the taste of the crowd's enthusiasm for her comeback will fuel her to gain improved fitness leading into the US Open. It's hard to imagine Williams will play past the US Open of 2022.

“I personally miss Roger in the tennis tour and tennis of course miss him, tournaments, fans, everyone,” 22-time major champion Rafael Nadal said Saturday. “...

I haven’t talked to him about that. “He won’t rush back this time,” Godsick told Standard Sport. “He will have to be 100% and know he’s 100% and that’s why he’s taking his time doing heavy rehab and training. I know he’s encouraged where he is. Not only Wimbledon. He's a well missed player in every single event of tennis, without a doubt.” He underwent a third knee surgery and will turn 41 in August. Maybe I didn't think it was gonna take me this long to come back but the knee has been rough on me.

WIMBLEDON, England — There he was, a surprise, perhaps the biggest of this Wimbledon fortnight: Roger Federer in the flesh Sunday on Centre Court.

It was a reminder of the way greatness gives way to greatness, one generation to the next — and a reminder that Federer was not on hand to help keep youth at bay. It felt reminiscent of the energy surrounding a certain Swiss player at the start of his great Wimbledon career. The match ended in the dwindling sunlight, 9-7 in the fifth set, with Federer shedding tears of agony. There he was again, the defending champion, dashing across the same baseline with the same staunch resolve as when he snatched victory from his longtime rival. About an hour later, he won the match, 13-12, in a fifth-set tiebreaker. “There will be places where he’ll be able to do better just because of the nature of the surface,” he said. Then came Nadal. When Nadal finally beat Federer in the final in 2008, their match was regarded as one of the greatest ever played. Federer was the champion in 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2009, 2012 and 2017. He continued for a short while, bathing in the warm adoration, taking in the old stadium and its memories. During the opening four days, attendance dropped to levels not seen in over a decade. How do you explain the power of absence? He added, “It feels awkward to be here today in a different type of role.”

As he has done so many times before, Roger Federer stepped onto Centre Court at Wimbledon.

It's great to be here with all the other champions." I knew walking out here last year, it was going to be a tough year ahead. I hope I can come back one more time," Federer, absent from this year's main draw for the first time since 1998 because of injury, told the crowd.

I bet with Goran (coach) that in the future, they might allow a little paint on the equipment, and he says there is no chance. It is as if my mind had left my body to photograph this moment of cohabitation with the greatest, weighted today with 61 Grand Slam titles.
