A fan, who was at the stadium, shared a clip of Roger Federer performing at the stage. The text attached to the clip read, “It was sooo good to see you Roger [Federer]! You literally glow!!! And what a shaking.”

A user gave an apt description to Roger Federer and Coldplay’s collaboration: “Legend of tennis meets legend of music.”

“This is so wholesome. Roger [Federer] + Coldplay, doesn’t get any better than this,” another said.

“Wow, Roger [Federer]. Such a fantastic and magic night.”

“So so happy seeing you with Coldplay. All my favourites together,” read a tweet.

Fans also sent in a bunch of requests. While some urged the tennis maestro to release a song with Coldplay, others wanted him to bring the band to Wimbledon.

Last month, a video of Princess Of Wales, Kate Middleton, and Roger Federer’s friendly tennis match at Wimbledon went viral on social media. The clip showcases Kate Middleton greeting the Swiss tennis star. Moments into the video, Federer asks the royal, "Shall we play some tennis?"

During the friendly battle, the Princess of Wales managed to score a point by landing a shot on the line, after which Federer said, "I think it was on the line, amazing!"

The official account of Wimbledon shared the clip and wrote, "I think it was on the line! Consider us impressed..."

Meanwhile, matches at the Wimbledon started today. This year marks the 136th edition of the Grand Slam. Defending champion Novak Djokovic will be aiming to equal Roger Federer’s record of winning eight Wimbledon titles. Federer announced his retirement last year, at the age of 41.
