🙋♂️ @NeilMcLeman asked Wimbledon organisers if they plan to honour Roger Federer this summer
Federer set to be honoured for Wimbledon achievements during 2023 Championships

Roger Federer is set to be honoured at the Wimbledon championships later this year for his outstanding achievements at the only grass court major event.
What Federer did in his career is widely known to most tennis fans but his best moments always came at Wimbledon. The tennis maestro won 8 Wimbledon's in his career and that's the biggest chunk of his 20 grand slam trophies overall. Nobody won as many Wimbledon trophies as he did over the years and he will be honoured for that at the 2023 edition.
It was confirmed by AELTC chairman Ian Hewitt:
"He is obviously a very great champion. We have a very close association. I am delighted to say that Roger Federer has been making a visit here and as a member, is very welcome at any time. And yes, we will be celebrating his achievements in an appropriate Wimbledon way in due course, more to follow."

- My money is simply on fatigue. She's not the compact 'muscle-man'-type like perhaps Sabalenka, Swiatek or Sakkari. She's a player desperately longing for some kind of Djokovic rhythm. She should skip lots to win more majors. And the rumour I thought wasn't it Long Covid?MrAndreeva10-05-2024
- If there is some other reason, like exhaustion or self-preservation by not playing in consecutive tourneys, then simply say so. There's no shame in self preservation. Since the WTA obviously does not seriously consider a player's physical and mental stress as they schedule back-to-back majors, it's okay to adhere to such a healthy agenda and admit it. The illness thing is kind of suspect at this point; if only because of the timing pattern.
mandoist10-05-2024 - So, Elena Rybakina has again withdrawn due to illness (in Rome). Fans are concerned if this is truly a gastrointestinal issue. Why the secrecy? Is it truly an illness causing these withdrawals? It may be helpful -- even encouraging -- for others whom also suffer whatever illness is ongoing here to know what she is dealing with; and how. A form of Colitis? Ulcers? What's up? Timing has been last minute. It's a bummer all around.mandoist10-05-2024
- Tennis is ridiculous to maintain the tradition of silence. If they can play in open courts like Rome with all the noise from each court they surely could survive cheering, etc., during play (i.e., a singles match with only a 2 meter fence between them and a men's doubles -- and very loud noise from each side).mandoist10-05-2024
