Day seven of Wimbledon kicked off on Sunday afternoon, with audience members being surprised with a special performance from music legend Sir Cliff Richard. To celebrate the Wimbledon champions over the years and the history of the tennis tournament, Sir Cliff put on a special performance of his hit song Summer Holiday. However, viewers watching the performance were left distracted as they took to their social media accounts to slam the performance.
@fpl_pie commented: "This centre court nonsense on BBC1 might be the most nauseating thing I've ever seen, and I've had it on mute since Cliff Richard started singing #Wimbledon." @lPolemikos added: "aw Cliff Richard trending and put on the BBC expecting to see a helicopter flying above his house. Instead, I was "treated" to seeing him sing at Wimbledon." UKtraveljourno slammed: "Please, god, don't say Cliff Richard is about to sing #wimbledon #centrecourt #100years." @MarcherMedia1 exclaimed: "Can someone please put Cliff Richard out of his misery? #Wimbledon."
He explained with joy: "It feels unbelievable! This whole scenario is serious goosebump time when the players are about to go out on the court, but you are super excited." As they walked out onto the court, sound effects of thunder and rain played, to which John shouted: "Woah, you can't be serious! That wasn't in the script, Sue what are we going to do?" Sir Cliff then walked out and began singing, with the audience cheering as he made his way down the stairs. 100 years of Centre Court was celebrated by bringing out the world champions across the years, with Bjorn Borg and Billie Jean King making an appearance.
