In remarks given to Eurosport UK, Virginia Wade, former second player in the world and winner of three Grand Slam singles tournaments, recounted the famous meal in 2010 at Wimbledon with Queen Elizabeth II, in which Rafael Nadal had refused to participate. On the other hand, Roger Federer had certainly not missed this opportunity.
“In 2010 she came to Wimbledon and we were a very small group having lunch with her. There were three Wimbledon champions, plus Roger Federer and his wife. Roger was on the Queen’s right and I on her left. We had a very deep and varied conversation, and she knew all about the evolution of tennis. She knew all about Roger, and I think she knew all about me. Everyone had wide eyes, but it was wonderful to see Federer so captivated by what she was saying.”assured the British.
