The surprises never ran dry on Saturday at the Centre Court in Wimbledon as it rained stars in the Royal Box. From Sachin Tendulkar to Joe Root, from Pep Guardiola to Jos Buttler, the guest list had it all. However, there was also a very special guest amongst everyone who came to watch the games on Saturday and he was none other than eight-time Wimbledon champion, Roger Federer.

In a post by Wimbledon on their Instagram, Sachin Tendulkar was snapped alongside Roger Federer with caption, “You will never know who you will bump into at Wimbledon.“

With the number of guests steaming in, it was indeed a very special day for the historic tournament and it actually was rife with surprise meets around the court as icons from different paths of life came together to savour in the game and they were definitely not disappointed.

Saturday’s important clashes witnessed Alexander Zverev swatting aside Cameron Norrie while Novak Djokovic and Alexei Popyrin fought out in another swashbuckling thriller. World No.1, Jannik Sinner got the better of Miomir Kecmanovic in three straight sets. In the women’s division, Iga Swiatek, who is the current No.1 suffered a third-round shock defeat at the hands of Yulia Putintseva.

A glance at Roger Federer’s heroics in the court

Roger Federer has been an unparalleled force in the tennis court and his credentials are eclipsing enough for any superstar. King Roger has clinched 20 Grand Slam titles, third in the list of all-time highest Grand Slam winners with Novak Djokovic at the top with 24 followed by Rafael Nadal with 22.

Federer made it to 31 Grand Slam finals which is inclusive of making it to 10 consecutive summit clashes. Federer also maintains the record of winning the Wimbledon for eight times which till date is the highest by any star taking to the court.

Federer called it a day in 2022 after persistent suffering with his knee. In fact, such was his relief that he told GQ’s Zach Baron that his farewell had come as a reprieve from his gruelling agony that left his knee rattled. His last contest came alongside one of his greatest foes of all time, Rafael Nadal where the duo teamed up against Jack Sock and Frances Tiafoe in the Laver Cup.
