London, July 8, 2025 — Day 8 of Wimbledon wasn’t just about the on-court action. It was the grand return of Roger Federer, the 8-time champion and global tennis icon, that truly stole the show. The 43-year-old legend made a stylish entrance into the Royal Box, joined by wife Mirka, moments before Novak Djokovic’s fourth-round match against Alex de Minaur.
Clad in a sharp navy suit and sunglasses, Federer’s presence reignited memories of his Wimbledon dominance—where from 2003 to 2017, he lifted the trophy an unmatched eight times. His most legendary run came in 2017, when he claimed the title without dropping a set.
Fans and players alike were abuzz with excitement. Federer has been a regular visitor at SW19 since retiring in 2022, but this appearance brought something more: a hint of a return.
Speaking with TNT Sports, Federer opened up about missing tennis.
“Honestly, I’d love to play some more tennis again. Enough with the golf already for a moment now, I’ve played so much. But no seriously, I’d love to start playing like two-three times a week again and hopefully, get myself back on an exhibition court. Maybe fill up a few nice stadiums around the world,” he said with a smile.
The statement has sparked excitement around the world. Fans are already speculating about potential exhibition matches in iconic stadiums—perhaps a farewell world tour?
Though Federer has made it clear he won’t return to ATP-level competition, his love for the game and desire to give fans more of his trademark magic is as strong as ever.
As the cheers echoed through Centre Court, it became evident—Wimbledon still belongs to Federer, and the tennis world is ready to welcome him back in any form.
