Wimbledon and Roger Federer is a match made in heaven, isn’t it? Every time the Swiss Maestro has stepped onto the grass courts at SW19, he has enthralled tennis fans with audacious displays. Federer has been the tournament’s most successful male player, winning an astonishing eight titles. Additionally, he has numerous other records at the tournament like most wins among men. But despite his ever-so-successful run at the tournament, Federer revealed having some mixed feelings at the tournament recently.

The 42-year-old attended this year’s Wimbledon Championships from the stands. He was widely well-received by the audience, albeit off the court. Here’s what he said about his appearance at the tournament.

Roger Federer has mixed feelings on Wimbledon return

Recently, the Swiss maestro was interviewed by The Wall Street Journal. During the interview, he was asked how it felt watching Wimbledon from the stands after having spent so many years on the other side of the audience.

Replying to this question, Federer said, “My dad leaned over and asked me, ?Wouldn?t you want to be on the court right now instead of just sitting here?? And I was, ?Oh, my God, no. I?m so happy sitting here.? I felt very content and at peace, sitting and not playing.” Subsequently, explaining why he was happy not playing, the Swiss legend continued, “Because a year before, when there was the 100th-year celebration of Centre Court, I felt that I maybe didn?t want to be there. It was important for me to be there, but it was a crushing feeling I had, a twisted feeling I had. This year, I was very happy to be back there. And the people were happy to see me happy.”
