Roger Federer and his wife Mirka made a stylish and warmly received appearance in the Royal Box at Wimbledon during the highly anticipated fourth-round match between Novak Djokovic and Alex de Minaur. The couple’s presence added a touch of elegance and nostalgia to Centre Court on a day filled with top-tier tennis action.

A surprise visit that delighted fans

The Federers arrived at the All England Club on Day 8 of the tournament, drawing cheers and admiration from fans and fellow spectators. Roger, dressed in a dark blue suit and sunglasses, and Mirka, in a graceful white dress, were seen smiling and enjoying the atmosphere as they took their seats in the Royal Box. Their appearance was unannounced, making it a pleasant surprise for those in attendance.

This marks Roger’s third visit to Wimbledon since his retirement in 2022, and his continued presence at the tournament he once dominated is a reminder of his enduring connection to the sport and its most iconic stage.

Watching Djokovic chase history

The match they attended featured Novak Djokovic, who is aiming to equal Federer’s record of eight Wimbledon titles. Djokovic, now 38, faced off against Australia’s Alex de Minaur in a high-stakes encounter as he continues his pursuit of a record 25th Grand Slam title. The Serbian star recently became only the second man in history—after Federer—to reach 100 match wins at Wimbledon, further cementing his legacy on the grass courts of SW19.

Federer’s presence during this match added an extra layer of significance, as the two legends have shared many epic battles on this very court. While Federer is no longer competing, his influence and legacy remain deeply felt.

A continued bond with Wimbledon

Though retired from professional play, Federer has made Wimbledon a regular stop, often accompanied by Mirka and their children. The couple’s appearance this year was not just a nod to the past but a celebration of their ongoing relationship with the tournament. Federer’s history at Wimbledon includes eight singles titles and countless unforgettable moments, making his return to Centre Court a sentimental highlight for fans and players alike.
