Second round of Wimbledon, and playing against one of the best tennis players that the world has ever seen. A lot was already at stake for Jacob Fearnley, the young British star. Having impressed everyone with his gameplay, the 22-year-old star looked to get over what was his biggest challenge of his career so far, Novak Djokovic. With already so much at stake for him, his nerves got tangled even further when another GOAT of the game came to attend his match, Roger Federer.

The Swiss legend, who won 8 Wimbledon titles througout his career as a professional tennis athlete was recently spotted at the hallowed grass courts of Wimbledon and came to witness one of his greatest rivals, Novak Djokovic in action. For a second consecutive season, the king of grass courts made his presence known to the crowd. While this might not have been a big deal for the Djoker, it certainly was for the young British star.

Interestingly, just a day prior to the Swiss legend’s presence, his wife Mirka Federer was also seen in the stands during the Jannik Sinner and Matteo Berrettini encounter and now, the legend himself is there. In a match where the Australian Open champion won the match, it was Mirka who stole the show.

Talking about Fearnley, while he might not be the favorite to clinch the win today against the Djoker, he would certainly want to impress the legend Roger Federer with his eye-cathching shots. However, nervousness would still mount him over. As for Roher Federer, what many might not know is the fact that his appearance at Wimbledon this year is possible, courtesy to his children.

Roger Federer said he was happy at home but his kids are pushing for a Wimbledon return

In an interview a few days back, the familyman Roger Federer said that he had no plans of coming to the event this year. While he said that he was happy to enjoy his time at home, it was his kids’ wish to go there. Apparently, last year when the Swiss star made his appearance on the stands, his kids were not there to accompany him. It was him along with his wife who came to the stadium. This made him fulfil his kids’ wish and attend the event this year as well.

“Yeah, making plans. Kids are pushing me there as again. I’m happy at home, but the kids said ‘No we want to come to Wimbledon this year. You were last year without us’,” said Roger Federer in the interview.

Thus, Roger Federer who was happy and enjoying at home is now in tournament that is by far his favorite out of all. Having won everything in his life, it is this place that has a special connection in his heart and his fans also enjoy a glimpse of the superstar in London.
