WIMBLEDON, England—Roger Federer will be back on Centre Court at Wimbledon on Tuesday. No, not to compete: He'll be feted for his record-setting career at the grass-court Grand Slam tournament.

Federer, who announced his retirement last year, won eight of his 20 Grand Slam singles championships at the All England Club, the most ever by a man—a mark that Novak Djokovic will try to equal this year.
