The Federers Return to the All England Club
On the first Monday of The Wimbledon Championships, the legendary couple once again sparkled in the Royal Box. Eight-time champion Roger Federer, who has not missed a single edition of the tournament since retiring, came to support the players together with his tennis-fan wife Mirka—for the first time in two years. The presence of the star duo did not go unnoticed: cameras repeatedly captured their restrained smiles and appreciative applause.
Match of the Day: Mirra Andreeva and “Not Looking to the Right”
In the day’s second match, young Russian sensation Mirra Andreeva claimed a convincing victory, yet her biggest challenge proved not to be her opponent’s resistance but the Royal Box itself. In a post-match flash interview, the 17-year-old admitted she had deliberately avoided glancing toward the box so she wouldn’t lose focus: “I knew Roger and Mirka were there, so I tried to keep my eyes on the ball,” Andreeva smiled. She still managed to offer a compliment: “Mirka, you look wonderful! Your outfit really impressed me.”
High Fashion on Grass: The Details of Mirka’s Look
- Dress: A snow-white Valentino from the Summer 2024 collection, a runway-inspired midi design; the luxury-market price ranges from €4,000 to €5,000.
- Accessory: A miniature bucket bag in gold leather by the same House, estimated cost — €1,300.
- Evening Touch: As the evening chill set in, Mirka produced an elegant Chanel jacket from the 2015 Cruise collection created under Karl Lagerfeld; comparable vintage pieces fetch around €4,200 on resale platforms.
Thus, the Swiss maestro’s wife can be called not only a connoisseur of tennis but also a skilled curator of a fashionable wardrobe.
Champion’s Image: Ralph Lauren Classic for Roger
Roger himself, though he received no public compliments, looked impeccable: a Purple Label suit from Ralph Lauren accentuated his athletic posture and signature elegance. Experts value the ensemble at €5–6 thousand—yet another confirmation that the former world No. 1’s style is timeless.
Why It Matters: Fashion, Image, and the Psychology of Top-Level Tennis
Social events at tennis tournaments have long become an integral part of the sporting spectacle. Eye-catching looks in the stands amplify the focus on the court, and a compliment from a promising athlete to a legendary couple once again underlines the continuity between generations. Future stars learn not only from masters of the racquet but also from those who know how to present themselves to the audience without striking a single ball.
In the end, Monday offered fans not only high-quality tennis but also a masterclass in impeccable style—a treat for everyone who appreciates beauty both on and off the grass.
