Roger Federer will not compete at Wimbledon in 2023, but he will be present as a member of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club (AELTC).
Federer's last professional singles match and his last grand slam win both took place at Wimbledon. In the 2021 Wimbledon quarterfinals, Federer was defeated in straight sets with a bagel in the third set by Hubert Hurkacz, and it was the final time he left the court carrying his kit bag.
His career was ultimately cut short by a knee injury sustained during the run. He played his final match at the 2022 Laver Cup. After the Laver Cup in September 2022, he announced his retirement from professional tennis.
Federer will attend the Wimbledon Championships in July this year, AELTC Chairman Ian Hewitt and Chief Executive Sally Bolton announced in a press conference. Hewitt hinted at a special event for their most illustrious men's singles champion when he said, "Roger will be making a visit here as a member. He is welcome any time."
