Wimbledon pays tribute to Federer who was auctioned last year
The Swiss golfer Federer, who hung up his racket last year, returned to Wimbledon to attend the tribute ceremony arranged by the tournament.
Federer, 42, put on a beige suit and appeared with his wife in the royal box at Center Court, sitting next to Kate, Princess of Wales. Fedana waved to the audience and received continuous applause and cheers.
The event continued to be affected by the rain. Originally scheduled to have 77 games, only 8 might be completed in the end. The former brother, the host golfer Meli, the men’s singles top seed Alcaras, and the last women’s singles champion Lie Bajiana and a few players can successfully complete the game.
In less than two hours, the 36-year-old Mei eliminated compatriot Niston in straight sets and advanced, with scores of 6:3, 6:0 and 6:1. Meli said following the game that it had been a long time since he felt in such a good state. The past few years have been challenging. He hopes to be healthy and continue his journey this year.
The top seed Aikanas also broke through in straight sets, beating Chardy of France 6:0, 6:2 and 7:5. He was very pleased with his performance following the game, but he was a little jealous that Federer wasn’t there to watch him play.
In the women’s singles, Lebakina, who was seeking to defend the women’s singles championship, lost a set 4:6 to Rogers, and then won 6:1 and 6:2 to advance.
