HE'S SMART: Djokovic weighs in on Federer's French Open absence

The 2017 Aussie Open winner is a great friend of Pippa and the Middleton family.

The pair, whose twins did not attend the event, arrived at St Mark's Church in Englefield at 11am.

Federer, who announced his withdrawal from the year's second major on Monday, said he felt he needed to avoid playing on clay this season to help prolong his career.

The 35-year-old has less chance of adding to his 18 grand slam titles on clay than on tennis' quicker surfaces.

Federer defied age and logic to win the Australian Open in January after a knee injury kept him out of tennis for six months, and followed that up with two more high-profile titles at Indian Wells and Miami.

The 35-year-old world No. 5 is now focused on being in top form for Wimbledon, which begins on July 3 and where he is a seven-times champion.
