#2 Even more Wimbledon glory
The presence of the prestigious Wimbledon crown in this list also takes inspiration from the strengthen-your-fortress theory. Federer, the master of grass and the conqueror of Wimbledon, clinching his crown again – can there be a more glorious cap to his career? If he manages to achieve this, he need worry about anything else in this list, or any other tournament in the world for that matter.
In the last three seasons, Federer has come agonisingly close to doing it. He had a glimpse of his 8th Wimbledon trophy in 2014, 2015 and 2016, but couldn’t get his hands on it. He was stopped by a ruthlessly dominant Djokovic two times, and last year the combination of an improved Milos Raonic and that fall stopped the Swiss from reaching the final, which also marked his first loss in a Wimbledon semi-final.
After winning the first Major of the year in 2017, Federer has a huge chance to get to 19 at SW19. His chances look stronger than they did the last three years, and to add to that he has nothing to lose now. On his best day, even Andy Murray would not be able to rattle Federer on the grass courts of London.
This year might just be Federer’s last and best opportunity to add to his silverware there. It would probably be ideal for him to take a break during the clay season so that he can be refreshed and ready for Wimbledon. If he feels that the break is too protracted, he can give a shot at Roland Garros in isolation, before turning to the grass season.
