"He's my idol!" A match Jasmine Paolini will never forget with Roger Federer watching on from the Royal Box #Wimbledon

Almost 70% of the top 100 men's players idolized Roger Federer. When the best players in the world see you as the gold standard, your impact goes far beyond records and trophies. People can downplay his achievements all they want, but Federer's greatest legacy isn't just the titles he won or the way he played. It’s the generation of players he inspired to pick up a racket, chase greatness and redefine the future of tennis. 🐐

@rogerfederer If tennis were a person, it would be Federer😎 I fell you so much Paolini🥰

@rogerfederer watching her fight to stay focused with the GOAT in the stands must have been special. Congrats on the win Paolini.

@rogerfederer She dreamed of watching Federer as a child. Now Federer is watching her win on Centre Court. What a full-circle moment 🥹🎾

@BastienFachan @rogerfederer I will not be surprised if she ends up winning the dang thing! 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹

@rogerfederer 😊🙏🏻

@rogerfederer Nothing better than a happy jasmine’s smile!! Brighten up any day!💚💜

Seeing Roger Federer back on Centre Court looking as elegant as ever, while the players on court are openly thanking him for inspiring their entire careers, is pure tennis poetry. Paolini saying she watched every single one of his Wimbledon finals as a kid and then performing right in front of him is what dreams are made of. The All England Club just hits differently when the King is in the building. 👑🎾

@rogerfederer 😊❤️
