Follow usOne of the greatest tennis players of all time Roger Federer received a standing ovation for over minute and a half from spectators including Princess Kate as he entered the Royal Box at Centre Court on Tuesday, when he was celebrated during a brief ceremony for his career and his men’s-record eight singles championships at Wimbledon.
The Swiss legend walked to his seat and stood between his wife, Mirka, and the Princess of Wales in the special section above one of the baselines in the Grand Slam tournament’s main stadium.
Federer waved and tapped his chest, repeatedly saying, “Thank you,” as he received the applause and roars from the audience at the Center Court where once he was dominating.
The moment Roger Federer returned to Centre Court at Wimbledon.
Listen to this crowd.
This is his kingdom.
These are his people.
