This year’s Wimbledon Championships have been struggling with low attendance throughout the whole tournament. And One of the main reasons could be the absence of 8-time Wimbledon Champion Roger Federer.

Notably, the absence of the Swiss Maestro caused the tournament a huge loss in terms of revenue. Now, it seems like the tournament will finally have its most decorated male champion in the house on a joyous occasion.

Recently, the official Twitter handle of Wimbledon posted a few photos of Federer, wearing a black suit. According to many reports, he will take part in the centenary celebrations along with Sue Barker, Clare Balding, and John McEnroe. Apart from attending the event, Federer will most probably watch a few matches as well.

Notably, Wimbledon also invited around 1500 refugees from Ukraine, Syria, and Afghanistan to this event, as they will celebrate the 100-year anniversary of the Centre Court. It is also worth mentioning that the Centre Court has been a part of the Wimbledon Championships since 1922.
