Wimbledon king Roger Federer returned to light up a rain-drenched second day at the grasscourt championships as the new prince of the hallowed lawns Carlos Alcaraz began his campaign to seize the crown on Tuesday.
Retired Swiss great Federer ditched his racket for a classy cream blazer and a comfy seat as the eight-time Wimbledon champion graced the Royal Box and received possibly the longest ovation of his illustrious career.
But Federer missed Spanish phenomenon Alcaraz, the 20-year-old who has taken the tennis world by storm. The last point of Chardy's professional career was an Alcaraz ace that whistled past his outstretched racket. Admitting the watching Federer had made her nervous, she shrugged off that poor start to win in style.
With rain still falling late in the afternoon, play was abandoned on the outside courts with Court Two and Court Three ticket holders and those with ground passes eligible for full refunds after seeing barely an hour of tennis.
