First time in his career, Roger Federer doesn't play at the Wimbledon, but he still made the appearance in SW19.

8-time Wimbledon champion will play the Laver Cup and Swiss Indoors in Basel later this year, but he skipped the Wimbledon for the first time during his lengthy career as he will drop from the ATP Rankings after the tournament, not playing in more than a year.

However, despite not competing, Roger Federer returned to the All England Club on Sunday. The Swiss Maestro was accompanied with six bodyguards and was dressed in a suit. This year, the Centre Court is celebrating 100 years and it should be exactly on the day of Federer's arrival when there should be a special ceremony as confirmed by the tournament.

"Celebrating the centenary of Centre Court at Church Road and looking ahead to what the next 100 years may bring is the focus of this year's Wimbledon. On Sunday 3 July - the first time that Middle Sunday has been a permanent part of the event schedule - there will be a special ceremony taking place on Centre Court."
