Wimbledon 2013 Preview - Analysing 4 Biggest Contenders This Year

3. Roger Federer

roger federer2 One man who knows the courts around here like the back of his hand is arguably the greatest player of all time, Roger Federer. The Swiss legend enters this tournament as underdog for possibly the only time since he first won the tournament ten years ago in 2003 (if that stat doesn€™t make you feel old I don€™t know what will). The former world number one is hoping to add his eighth Wimbledon to his already bulging CV, and who would bet against him? If successful in his quest, Fed would equal Nadal's record of winning eight Slams at the same tournament, what an awesome feat that would be. The Swiss number one will be feeling quietly confident having won his tune up for SW19 at the Gerry Weber Open in Halle, his first tournament victory since last year€™s win in Cincinnati. Would anyone bet against the old dog adding his 18th Grand Slam title? You just never know.
