With a single picture in white, Roger Federer has fueled comeback rumors again! Remember his latest trips to the Asian side of the world? After Thailand shenanigans, the former World No. 1 is currently in Vietnam, delighting unsuspecting fans with his surprising presence on tennis courts. Even in retirement, Federer has not let go of his racquet, and neither, it seems, his favorite Grand Slam costume.

Roger Federer, who retired back in 2022, is living a full life off the court. From his Met Gala appearances to his lavish trips around the world, Federer, his wife Mirka, and sometimes even their four kids make it to their social media in fun pictures. The Federer family’s latest appearance in Vietnam’s small town called Hội An is already known, but the latest photo going viral from his adventure has to do with his outfit.

This is because, in that particular photo, the retired tennis star is seen wearing full white attire, which heavily resembles a Wimbledon outfit! Along with his white t-shirt and shorts, Federer also wears white sneakers, the full regalia resembling his All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club outfits.

And why wouldn’t he wear it proudly? Roger Federer has previously won the tournament 8 times, which is the most a male player has won in the Open Era. Not only that, he also won his first Grand Slam at Wimbledon back in 2003. And even his last appearance at Wimbledon in 2017 was very special. Because there, he emerged victorious without dropping a set, displaying his unwavering determination and skills on-court.

Naturally, it’s been a hard moment to get over. Even after almost two years of his retirement, they still look for hints from the Swiss Maestro to further solidify his presence at Wimbledon.

Fans react to Roger Federer’s Wimbledon-like outfit

Looking at his full white attire in a picture with a Vietnamese family, fans felt nostalgic and excited at the same time. One fan, through multiple crying emojis, questioned the reason behind this decision of Roger Federer.

Another hilariously wrote that Federer must have foreseen the coming Wimbledon match this year and knew that he was going to be the winner. Hence, the decision to wear the outfit. “W[imbledon] champion 2024”, was their proclamation.

This fan sarcastically pointed out the irony of having a vacation away from tennis while wearing a tennis outfit. Calling this move a “classic roger”, the fan concluded their statement.
