A 7TH WIMBLEDON TITLE FOR FEDERER?
[0]The 2011 men's Wimbledon champion will be decided this coming Sunday, and many are wondering whether former world number one Roger Federer will equal the record of Pete Sampras by winning his 7th Wimbledon title this time. The Swiss maestro has been in top form since the French Open last month, but that may not be enough to vanquish his archrival, Spain's Rafa Nadal.
##
With a record sixteen grand slam titles, Roger Federer is arguably the greatest tennis player of all time, but at 29, many people already consider him a lion in winter.
It's been more than a year since he last won a major championship, and the rise of younger talents such as Novak Djokovic has increased the chance of him getting knocked out before the final.
More importantly, the Swiss maestro still couldn't find a way to solve his nemesis, World Number one Rafa Nadal, who took merciless advantage of his one-handed backhand time and again, most recently in Roland Garros early this month.
So is it time to write him off at this year's Wimbledon?
Not quite.
With six of his sixteen major titles coming from the All England Club, the grass courts here are widely regarded as Federer's best surface. Many sports experts have also pointed out that if there are still more grand slams titles left in the aging champion, they are most likely to be Wimbledon trophies.
And the fact that Federer recently snapped Djokovic's incredible winning streak also proves that he is in top form.
So perhaps we'll see in this year's final a rematch of Federer's 2008 five-set classic with Nadal,
though it's really hard to say whether the result will be different this time.
