Roger Federer to make his 22nd appearance at Wimbledon

Since his comeback in Doha, Roger Federer has expressed his excitement to play at Wimbledon again. Mainly, he even set the grass major as his biggest goal for the 2021 season.

Moreover, the 39-year-old participated in the French Open 2021 to prepare himself for the two most critical weeks on grass. But while he progressed until the fourth round there, he withdrew afterwards, giving his body rest for the grass season.
