Wimbledon toasted 100 years of Centre Court with a special centenary ceremony on Middle Sunday by welcoming a host of past singles champions. A visual recap:
Sue Barker and John McEnroe, a three-time winner himself, co-presented the celebration.
While Cliff Richard crooned an acapella version of “Summer Holiday: from the stands.
Things heated up when one-time champs, including Angelique Kerber and Simona Halep, were first to be invited out.
Then came two-time titlists, like Rafael Nadal…
… and Sir Andy Murray.
Chris Evert was among the three-time title holders to enter…
… ahead of four-time champ Rod Laver.
Next, five-time winners Bjorn Borg…
… and Venus Williams were welcomed in.
Six-time champs Billie Jean King and Novak Djokovic followed…
… before eight-time titlist Roger Federer walked out to round out those appearing for the ceremony.
Djokovic and Federer caught up…
… as did Laver and Venus.
Freya Ridings sang a moving rendition of “Lost Without You” as a video tribute played.
And McEnroe made sure to shout out the retiring Barker.
