Roger Federer is one individual who broke many hearts with his retirement last year. The former number one’s presence at Wimbledon was always something everyone awaited. However, he has not visited the tournament since the Covid pandemic wreaked havoc. But the time is finally upon us and Federer will return to Wimbledon this year.

Another personality who is nostalgic for Wimbledon is Serena Williams. She played in two finals in 2018 and in 2019. But post Covid, Williams was out of round 1, in 2021 and 2022, and then she eventually quit. Unlike Federer, Williams will not appear in this year’s Wimbledon. But the reason is not daunting.

Roger Federer finally returns to the Wimbledon

After the heartbreak fans suffered in 2019 when they watched Federer lose to Novak Djokovic, everyone anticipated a return and a 21st grand slam. While the 2021 Wimbledon was promising, he lost his first match at the grass slam in straight sets in nineteen years. Since then, he did not participate in any singles tournaments and missed SW19 in 2022.

While the end was sad for fans witnessing his retirement, he will now return to the tournament where he is at the top. With eight Wimbledon titles, Federer is mentioned on the board the most. Now, the Swiss Maestro will see the court where he is the best.

Federer’s achievements will be honored in the Centre Court before the first round begins. “Roger Federer will be at Wimbledon on Tuesday. There will be a celebration of his achievements on Centre Court before the first match. #Wimbledon 🍓.“

Fans can now shed happy tears as they will witness their favorite being honored for his efforts. While SW19 will have its best player come back, they will, unfortunately, miss out on another great one.

Serena Williams absent from Wimbledon

With the same number of Wimbledon titles as Federer, Serena Williams is a legend of the tour. However, the Queen of the Court will not be present during the tournament. However, the reason is not sad or horrifying as she cannot travel frequently due to her pregnancy. She and her husband, Alexis Ohanian, announced that they are expecting a second child at the Met Gala.

While Williams will be absent, her fans will not be sad. The 23-time grand slam champion has fulfilled her daughter’s wishes for a sibling.
