Roger Federer recently revealed that his children had “pushed” him to attend the 2024 Wimbledon Championships
Federer, the record eight-time Wimbledon champion, was honored at last year’s edition of the prestigious grasscourt Major for his achievements there. The Swiss and his wife Mirka took their places beside each other in the Royal Box on Center Court as they watched Murray defeat Ryan Peniston in a first-round match. However, Federer and Mirka’s children did not accompany them.
This year though, things are going to be slightly different, as confirmed by Federer himself during a recent screening of his upcoming documentary Federer: Twelve Final Days in Leicester Square, London.
The 20-time Grand Slam winner revealed that his children have urged him to take them to Wimbledon with him this time around, having missed out in 2023.
“I’m making plans, kids are pushing me there. I’m happy at home but the kids said ‘No we wanna come to Wimbledon this year, you were last year without us!’, so, hey, then we go to Wimbledon,” Federer said.
The 2024 Wimbledon Championships are slated to begin on Monday, July 1.
