For the Swiss Maestro, Wimbledon is not just a historic tournament, but it’s a place that has witnessed his transition from a rising star to a superstar. His first major title triumph came at the 2003 Wimbledon. Roger Federer has often spoken about the unique tradition and history of Wimbledon, particularly highlighting the significance of playing on Centre Court and the atmosphere of the tournament. He ended his career on 23 September 2022, with eight Wimbledon titles in his bag. But even after three years of his retirement, his legacy is still celebrated across this venue. Last year, he paid a visit to the SW19 with his family, will he be there this time as well?

Well, in 2024, while giving a hint about his presence at the iconic tournament, he said, “I’m making plans, kids are pushing me there. I’m happy at home, but the kids said, ‘No, we wanna come to Wimbledon this year, you were last year without us!’, so, hey, then we go to Wimbledon. Most likely I’ll be there, I don’t know if we’re gonna watch any matches but I’ll be in the Wimbledon village, so try to spot me there.” Later on, during the event, he was spotted at the Royal Box at Centre Court alongside his wife Mirka.

Talking about the probability of seeing him in 2025, as per reports, Roger Federer will likely be back at Wimbledon. During an interview with Eurosport, he said, “I’ll probably go to Wimbledon, but I don’t know if Rafa will be there during the tournament. Novak is in the starting field, Andy will probably be at the facility. Then there’s the Laver Cup—a very special week for me. I’ll try to recruit the other three for that.”

However, having said that, he claimed that it’s much easier for them to meet on golf courses than on tennis courts nowadays. Talking about meeting the other member of the elite ‘Big 4’ in men’s tennis. During the 2025 French Open, we saw Roger Federer joining hands with Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray during Rafael Nadal’s farewell ceremony. Talking about that moment, he then revealed that it was the first time that he had returned to Roland Garros since his retirement (in September 2022).

It was a treat to watch all the members of the ‘Big 4’ in a single frame at Philippe Chatrier during the tribute ceremony. During an interview with TNT Sports, he said, “Paris will always be a special place for me. I had some very special moments there, many of them with Rafa.” Just like what it’s with Djokovic on grass court major?

Rafael Nadal has dominated Roger Federer on clay, but on grass? Well, although Federer may have the most Wimbledon titles in his bag, he has faced a defeat at the hands of Novak Djokovic in three out of their four meetings. This year, Djokovic will have a chance of matching Federer’s record at the grass-court major. 

Can Novak Djokovic level up with Roger Federer with a title triumph at the 2025 Wimbledon?

For Novak Djokovic, Wimbledon is more like his “childhood favorite tournament“. He has a 97-12 record at this grass court event, and guess what? Other than the chance of securing his 25th major at this venue and matching Roger Federer’s eighth title triumph record at Wimbledon, Djokovic will also have the chance to become the first 38-year-old man to win a Grand Slam (i.e., the oldest Grand Slam men’s singles champion). In the previous two editions, Carlos Alcaraz was the major obstacle in her title triumph dreams at SW19. 

He has already announced his arrival at SW19 through a social media post captioning, “Hello Wimbledon“. But can he break all the barriers and set yet another astonishing record in his career? Well, Roger Federer once expressed his hope that Novak Djokovic can continue to break “all the records” in the sport. Now, while talking about his chance at 2025 Wimbledon, the Serb said, “I would probably agree Wimbledon could be the best chance (of a 25th Grand Slam).” Do the tennis experts agree with this statement?

Well, according to Jimmy Connors and Andrea Petkovic, Novak Djokovic will have a real chance at the 2025 Wimbledon. Even American legend, Andy Roddick, claimed, “I am going to say this right now. Novak can win Wimbledon. I am just going to tell you. Nothing he does at 38 becomes easier when he steps onto a clay court. Everything he does well at 38 gets better when he steps onto a grass court.” Another tennis star, Feliciano Lopez, also believes this is the right surface for someone like Novak Djokovic to throw up a real challenge against Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner. Do you think Novak Djokovic can match Roger Federer’s record at the 2025 Wimbledon, though?
