"Federer believes he still has a chance at Wimbledon" - says Christopher Clarey

Well-known tennis journalist Christopher Clarey is convinced that Roger Federer believes that he still can win Wimbledon.

During a long interview with Tennis Deutschland Clarey talked a lot about Roger Federer and what keeps him going despite multiple injruies and surgeries in teh past few years. He said:

"The last time Roger Federer was fully healthy he was only one point away from winning Wimbledon, just one point! In my opinion, he thinks he still has a chance if he gets himself back physically. He didn't do badly at Wimbledon 2021 either, where he reached the quarterfinals at 39 and despite a bad knee. I doubt he can do better than that, there are too many opponents in the way for his dream to come true."

Clarey also added:

"However, it is always difficult to bet against Roger. His sense of humour is often underestimated, he always jokes and likes to laugh in company. In front of the cameras, he is the symbol of elegance, but in everyday life he is a very normal man."

And finished off with:

"Roger Federer is an optimistic person, he has a positive energy similar to that of small children. Right now, his main goals are two: to have his knee fixed so that he can have a normal life with his family and to indulge in one last ride before retiring. I don't think he's doing all this just to play a few games in the Laver Cup. Roger is one who likes competition!"
