Recently, the former world No. 1 visited the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club (AELTC), and the photos from his visit drew a reaction from former Canadian tennis player Eugenie Bouchard.

Federer, widely regarded as one of the greatest tennis players, turned professional in 1998. During his career, he won 103 singles titles on the ATP Tour, including 20 Grand Slam singles titles. These consist of eight Wimbledon titles, six Australian Open titles, five US Open titles, and one French Open title.
Federer held the world No. 1 ranking in the ATP singles rankings and won two Olympic medals for Switzerland: a gold medal in doubles with compatriot Stan Wawrinka at the 2008 Beijing Olympics and a silver medal in singles at the 2012 London Olympics. He retired from professional tennis in 2022 after competing in the Laver Cup.
The Swiss secured his last Wimbledon title in 2017. Entering the tournament, he was seeded third and defeated the likes of Alexandr Dolgopolov, Dušan Lajović, 27th seed Mischa Zverev, 13th seed Grigor Dimitrov, sixth seed Milos Raonic, and 11th seed Tomáš Berdych to advance to the final.
In the championship match, he triumphed over seventh seed Marin Čilić, claiming his record eighth Wimbledon men’s singles title and his 19th Grand Slam title overall.
Recently, the official Wimbledon social media account shared a series of photos of Federer at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club. Among these were a couple of pictures of him standing at the entrance to AELTC, as well as one of him on a balcony overlooking the tennis courts.
“Home away from home,” Wimbledon captioned their Instagram post.
Reacting to photos of Federer at Wimbledon, Bouchard described them as having an incredible “aura.”
“AURA,” Bouchard commented.
Bouchard, who turned professional in 2009, announced her retirement from the sport in July 2025. She concluded her career after competing in the 2025 Canadian Open, her home tournament.
The former world No. 5’s best Grand Slam result came at the 2014 Wimbledon Championships, where she reached the final after defeating Daniela Hantuchová, Sílvia Soler Espinosa, Andrea Petkovic, Alizé Cornet, Angelique Kerber, and Simona Halep. In the championship match, she faced Petra Kvitová and finished as the runner-up.
Despite retiring from tennis, Bouchard remains active in pickleball and made her professional pickleball debut in January 2024.
