Roger Federer has given his ambitions for 2020 and admits that Wimbledon will be heralded as a better achievement than winning Olympic gold again.

Federer said that to win Wimbledon is the greatest so is high up in the discussion but that he has so many memories in Olympic Games that he is excited to be back.

As a result though, he said depending it is his first or second priority at the end of the day.

"It would be in the conversation. I do not know if I would pick another Olympic gold over Wimbledon just because Wimbledon was the greatest for me.

But I am so excited to be back in an Olympic Game. I missed Rio because of my knee. I lived many great things during my career in the Games like carrying the flag twice, winning the gold doubles with Stan Wawrinka in Beijing, winning the silver medal in London and I also met my wife in Sydney.

But it would be the first or second priority."
