Everyone, whether tennis players or tennis fans, is only discussing who will be a tough competitor this year as the most anticipated grass-court Grand Slam tournament is approaching near. Similar to this, the 70-year-old tennis veteran mentioned Wimbledon and some of the tough opponents on a recent episode of Advantage Connors on podcast. He discussed how even the Serbian tennis player could find Federer’s fanboy to be one of the toughest opponents in the tournament.

He said, “I mean, why not? Like I said earlier here, if you get hot, you take one match at a time. And you don’t get ahead of yourself and go out and just play the right kind of tennis I think. Outside of Alcaraz and Djokovic, really Djokovic, he’s the proven champion there. Outside of him.”

And shocked everyone by reaching the quarterfinals in the French Open.
