Roger Federer played tennis with the Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, and was surprised when she stole a point from him at Wimbledon.
The third Grand Slam of the year has always been known for its tradition and prestige, with the participation of the Royal Family in the event every year. Prior to the start of the tournament, the 8-time Wimbledon champion has been involved in various activities, including a training session with the ball boys and girls.
The Princess of Wales was also present and participated in a doubles match with Federer. Images of the moment were shared on Wimbledon's Twitter account
β€œWhat does it take to be a #Wimbledon Ball Boy or Girl? Ahead of The Championships, @rogerfederer and The Princess of Wales visited us to find out - and play some tennis, of course.”
The Princess of Wales is a royal patron of the All England Lawn Tennis Club and frequently attends the Royal Box to watch matches. In fact, it has been confirmed that Kate will be the one to present the trophies to the winners of this edition. It is expected that Roger Federer will continue to participate in the activities that take place during Wimbledon.
This week, the Swiss former player received a tribute at the Halle Open, where he has won the title 10 times, as a prelude to Wimbledon. At Wimbledon, he took part in the 100-year anniversary celebration of the Centre Court (although his retirement had not yet been confirmed) alongside other legends such as Martina Navratilova, Rod Laver, Bjorn Borg, and Billie Jean King, among others.
