With the sun beating down on Centre Court, defending champion Roger Federer appeared in a cardigan. All that was missing was his pipe and slippers.

Federer extended his unbeaten run on grass to 60 matches when easing into the second round with a straight sets demolition of Slovakia's Dominik Hrbaty.
After much discussion at his post-match press conference about his tennis form, it was onto the cardigan.
Federer, it appears, was thrilled to put aside the white blazer he had won for the last two years.
"I thought two jackets was enough. Let's move onto something a little bit different," he said.
"We thought about something nice like a cardigan, a jumper. I think the result is nice as well. I have a belt as well this year. Just some new fresh things. It's a little bit more easier to wear than the jacket to be honest."
