Nope, that's not a mistake, that's Dominik Hrbaty sitting side-by-side with Roger Federer...and it's a singles match!
Hrbaty was once a player viewed with a lot of potential, which, unfortunately, he never quite fulfilled. Instead he had a solid career that is quickly winding down (precipitated by a rash of injuries).
So while Federer was dispatching him on Centre Court on Day 1 of Wimbledon 2008, he walked over to Federer's side during the last change0ver and just hung out for a bit. After all, this was going to be Hrbaty's last Wimbledon, and he's old pals with Federer (they are former doubles and practice partners), so why not go out with some style?
Somehow, I don't see Tiger Woods being as courteous to his opponent.
And this is why Tennis is great and why Federer is great.
