Roger Federer is healthy, fully fit and he is playing a great tennis so… why not trying to win these Championships once again?
The Swiss Maestro has 7 Wimbledons under his belt (same as Sampras) and he wants to go for more. In Halle he has showed he has still a huge game on grass and with Nadal and Murray not at their very best (for different reasons), Roger has definitely a shot at his 18th slam.
Roger: I should be able to win the tournament…
Federer commented “I feel like I’m a contender for the tournament. I feel like if things click here, I should be able to win the tournament; whereas at Roland Garros I feel like I’m slightly more dependent on Rafa.
When I play at Wimbledon it’s more on my racquet. As soon as that’s the case, you are more confident in your chances.”
…all the options are there
The Swiss added “It’s a pleasure being healthy and really fit and eager to give it a go again. This year I feel all the options are there: return, serve, serve and volley, my backhand – everything is working to my liking. For that reason, I feel I’m a bit more relaxed mentally because I know it is there.”
Roger was blessed by a very good draw. He will play Lorenzi in the opener and he fell in Nadal’s draw (the Spaniard doesn’t’ scare him on this surface).
