Federer’s old meniscus injury has haunted him, last year precipitating a 6-month break from competition

Winning another title at Wimbledon

Federer’s most recent Grand Slam title was his 2012 win at Wimbledon

This one is not so much a goal he could have as one he has said he does. In a 2015 interview Federer, who has not won a Grand Slam since 2012, is known to favour the quick grass courts of Wimbledon, where he holds a joint record for the most number of titles won – seven.

He won his last title at Wimbledon in 2012 – and barring a 2013 injury blip that saw Federer exit in the second-round, was runner-up at the tournament until 2016, where he bowed out in the semi-finals. Having exhibited a singular consistency at the venue despite age, injuries and a rapidly-changing field of opponents, there is no reason a fully fit Federer cannot repeat his successes.
