It’s been 1643 days since Federer last won a Grand Slam at Wimbledon in 2012. Since that triumph, Federer has reached three Grand Slam finals but has fallen short on all three occasions to Novak Djokovic.

With his rejuvenation, we might see Federer capture an 18th Grand Slam title. He will be playing at the Australian Open this year and although he might be considered as a contender to win the title, Federer’s best chance of Grand Slam glory would be his beloved Wimbledon which he has won seven times in his career.

Although his best bet might be the grass courts of England, his opponents shouldn’t underestimate the ability of a living legend in Roger Federer.
