A similar thing has happened with a video of Kate Middleton becoming one of the highest watched videos across Wimbledon’s social media pages.

But here’s the question: what is so special about the video that it has crossed so many views? The video was uploaded prior to the start of the grass tournament and grabbed eyeballs because of who featured in it. One of them is a beloved great in action after a heartbreaking retirement. Viewers clearly could not get enough of the Princess of Wales and the King of Grass bantering over a lighthearted game.

Kate Middleton’s video becomes the most-watched Wimbledon video

Federer, who retired from tennis last year, was featured in the video playing tennis with the Princess. He appeared to be teaching her some basics as they rallied in the playing session. Not only this, both Roger and Kate approached the ball boys and girls to appreciate the work that they do so that the game can progress flawlessly.

The video shares a glimpse into the lives of ball boys and girls training with all their hearts to make sure that the tournament progresses smoothly. Interestingly, Roger Federer has always been very supportive of the ball kids and has repeatedly come forward to celebrate all that they do on the court.

The video was one of the first glimpses of Federer in the lead-up to Wimbledon. This year also saw the sensational return of the Swiss great to the beloved Slam. However, it was not as a player anymore, but as a spectator. Still, he managed to create a resounding tizzy!
