The Swiss recently revealed he was devastated after Wimbledon was cancelled

The 38-year-old set out for practice in the jazzy ensemble before he was later seen relaxing in the grounds of his Swiss pad having got changed into something a little more subtle.

Earlier this month, Wimbledon was called off – one of the highest-profile sporting casualties of the worldwide coronavirus crisis.

For the first time since 1945 – the final year of the Second World War – there will be no Grand Slam in SW19.

The famous two-week event, which was set to take place on Monday June 29, was cancelled following an emergency board meeting held on teleconference between Wimbledon chiefs.

And eight-time singles champion Federer tweeted: “Devastated.”

But he vowed to return with a vengeance next year when he will be 39.

All England Club bosses were forced to cancel the grass-court Grand Slam because of the coronavirus crisis but had insurance policies in place.

The SW19 grounds and medical equipment are now be available for the NHS – as first reported by SunSport.

Federer, 38, said: “I can’t wait to come back next year.

“It only makes us appreciate our sport even more during these times.”

The legendary star and wife Mirka have joined the fight against the pandemic themselves by donating £860,000 in order to help the most vulnerable families in Switzerland.

Federer said: “These are challenging times for everyone and nobody should be left behind.

“Mirka and I have personally decided to donate one million Swiss Francs for the most vulnerable families in Switzerland.

“Our contribution is just a start. We hope that others might join in supporting more families in need.

“Together we can overcome this crisis. Stay healthy.”

Federer has won 20 Grand Slam titles in his glittering career – the most in men’s history and has been at the top of the sport for two decades.

And the eight-time Wimbledon champion admitted he knows he is very privileged – and he’s now put his power to good use.
