Wimbledon - Third Grand Slam of 2022!

First day of the tournament and alas Federer still unable to play, get well soon Roger!

Here's a wee bit info on Roger fur his blip fans:-

'The Swiss tennis star has not missed the tournament since his debut in 1999.

For the first time in 23 years, Wimbledon’s most successful male player, Roger Federer, will not be taking to the grass at the All England Club over the coming fortnight.

The eight-time champion, who turns 41 in August, has played the tournament every year since 1999 – winning it in five consecutive years between 2003 and 2007 – but will not participate this time around.

Sadly, Federer is still recovering after undergoing knee surgery last year, having required the operation shortly after Wimbledon 2021 when he was knocked out in the quarter finals by Hubert Hurkacz.'
