Roger Federer was asked about the favourites for this year's Wimbledon and he agreed that Djokovic is right to be the favourite.
The 39-year old is in the 3rd round of Wimbledon after taking out two Frenchman in Mannarino and Gasquet. His victory over Richard was especially impressive and it reminded everyone how good Federer is on grass. In the post-match press conference, a reporter read out the list of favourites to win it all according to bookies.
The reporter read out that Djokovic is the favourite with the most backed final being Djokovic vs Medvedev. While Roger was not keen on speculating potential finals he did respond to the question saying:
"I feel like Zverev also should be higher maybe because I've played him on grass before. I know he can play very well on the grass, especially if he's clocking his serves. Medvedev, sorry, he's No. 2 in the world. It's normal that he should be up there, as well."
He further said:
"Then me with my results here, they always have to put me in somewhere. But they probably are right about Djokovic making all those finals on the other side, that he's the favourite."
