Roger Federer sits alone in Wimbledon Royal Box as other guests leave
Swiss tennis legend Roger Federer attended Wimbledon 2026 and took a seat in the Royal Box on Centre Court. He watched several fourth‑round matches, including Jasmine Paolini’s three‑set win over Alexandra Eala, Arthur Fery’s five‑set victory over Grigor Dimitrov, and Alexander Zverev’s clash with Jiri Lehecka.
After the long Fery–Dimitrov match the other Royal Box guests departed, leaving Federer as the sole occupant. Media reports highlighted the scene as a sign of his enduring connection to the All England Club, noting that his presence drew comments from players such as Fery, who pointed to the “greatest of all time” in the front row.
The episode was widely shared on social media, with many viewers interpreting his decision to stay as a mark of respect for the tournament and its competitors.
