Can Roger Federer win Wimbledon?
After finally winning his very first French Open title a few weeks ago, he’s looking to win the big one.
Fresh off his first French Open title, Roger Federer considers himself the man to beat at the 2009 Wimbledon championships. This year’s Wimbledon will be held from June 22 to July 5, 2009 at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club as always.
And as far as Roger Federer is concerned, he says he’s looking forward to trying to claim a sixth championship. ‘’I do think I’m the favorite, actually, with all the success I’ve had,’’ Federer said.
A little cocky but judging by the way he’s been dominating the past Wimbledon tournaments, he has every reason to be. Sure, his run of five consecutive Wimbledon titles ended with a five-set loss to Rafael Nadal in last year’s final but the guy is still the winner of five of the last six Wimbledon tournaments, and betting against him will still be a very bad idea.
Federer said his back feels OK. He took a six-week break this year because it was bothering him. As for his game, Federer figures he can keep improving, particularly on grass and hard courts, ‘’when I can go for my shots more.’’
We thought Rafael Nadal would be ready for this year’s tournament as this is a must win for him this year if he wants to keep his spot as the world no.1. Unfortunately, he has already ruled himself out of the tournament due to injury.
But aside from Nadal, there will be others looking to beat Federer in England. One of which is Andy Murray, who has good luck against Federer in 2009. Andy has beaten Federer in the semi-finals of the Qatar ExxonMobil Open and the semi-finals of the BNP Paribas Open.
Aside from his success against Federer, Murray has also had his success over Federer’s rival, Rafael Nadal, beating the clay court king in the finals of the ABN AMRO World Tennis Tournament.
Expect him to have a great run in England this year.
