Swiss tennis great Roger Federer joined more than 20 Wimbledon champions to celebrate the 100-year anniversary of the Center Court at the All England Club in London on Sunday.
The eight-time Wimbledon champion walked into the Center Court last and received standing ovation from a wild crowd.
“I’ve been lucky enough to play a lot of matches on this court. It feels awkward to be here today in a different type of role,” said Federer, who missed this year’s tournament as he is still trying to recover from a knee surgery.
“I hope I can come back one more time. I’ve missed it here. I knew walking out here last year, it was going to be a tough year ahead. I maybe didn’t think it was going to take this long to come back – the knee has been rough on me,” said the 40-year-old who was knocked out of the quarterfinals at last year’s Wimbledon Championships.
