Wimbledon is Roger Federer’s best chance to win another Grand Slam but, at 37, the Swiss maestro is no longer an outright favorite to prevail in multiple five-set contests over two weeks, seven-times Grand Slam champion Mats Wilander said. Federer, a 20-times Grand Slam champion and the world number three, won the last of his eight Wimbledon titles in 2017 and is seeded second this year behind top-ranked Novak Djokovic. Wilander counts Federer among his three favorites at the All England Club but expects Djokovic to be fired up after missing out on a second career Grand Slam following his defeat in the French Open semi-finals. “Wimbledon is (Federer’s) best chance… this is the only one that he has a chance to win,” Wilander, now a tennis analyst for Eurosport, said. “Tsitsipas, I think is 1-1 against Federer,” Wilander added.
