Watch: Eight-time champion Roger Federer plays at Wimbledon with wife Mirka watching on | Tennis News
As Wimbledon 2025 enters its final stretch with the women’s singles final and men’s semi-finals on the horizon, a heartwarming moment stole the spotlight. Roger Federer, already a viral presence a few days back with his appearance in the Royal Box alongside wife Mirka, was once again the center of attention—this time for something more familiar. The 43-year-old Swiss legend was spotted playing tennis on a court at Wimbledon, much to the delight of fans. With Mirka watching from the sidelines, Federer glided across the grass, rekindling memories of his dominant years at SW19. Videos of the moment surfaced online, both from Federer’s own Instagram stories and from fans sharing their own clips. Unsurprisingly, the clips went viral across social media. Earlier in the week, Federer was in attendance during Novak Djokovic’s Round of 16 clash against Alex de Minaur. The Serbian star, who advanced to the quarter-finals, humorously remarked that he “finally managed to win a match” with Federer watching from the stands.
Wimbledon 2025 has not only showcased top-tier tennis but has also been a magnet for global sports icons. Federer’s presence in the Royal Box has been matched by appearances from cricket stars James Anderson and Joe Root, with Root even sharing a moment with Federer during the Djokovic match. From Stuart Broad to Maria Sharapova, David Beckham to John Cena, this year’s Wimbledon has reaffirmed its status as more than just a tennis tournament.
