Rod Laver's message to Federer, Djokovic, more on Wimbledon kick-off
Rod Laver, prominent personality in the world of tennis and eleven-time Grand Slam title-holder, shared on his Twitter account some photos taken before the kick-off of the world’s most famous grass tournament.
“It’s wonderful to back at Wimbledon and meet up with some of the Greats before their greatest challenge begins this week. It’s going to be an incredibly exciting fortnight. I’m delighted that I have a good seat! Best wishes to all. Rocket”
The images present the Australian legend sharing agreeable moments with defending champion Novak Djokovic, Wimbledon master Roger Federer, former World No. 4 Tomas Berdych, and Canada’s young talent Denis Shapovalov.
The players have expressed their admiration for Laver as well. Federer told the four-time Wimbledon trophy-lifter that he’ll “see him around,” accompanying his statement with one of his characteristic charming smiles. Shapovalov decided to go for deferring words in his Instagram stories, writing, “Such a honour to see you Yesterday, Mr. Laver. Thanks for stopping by to say hello.”
Australia’s rising star Astra Sharma took the time to immortalize her meeting with Laver with a picture on her Instagram account -- in which Ellen Perez joined them --, followed by the caption, “Very excited for my debut at Wimbledon! Catch me tomorrow at 11am in my whites... Also swipe to see me with a couple Aussie legends.” She concluded the whole with a winking emoji.
