He has already stated that his best chance of winning another Grand Slam would be Wimbledon. The French Open will be tough while it is too early to discuss the US Open.

So why would Roger win his next Grand Slam at Wimbledon ? Here are the Top Five Reasons why Federer win Wimbledon 2017 !

While Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray would be the usual suspects to win this Grand Slam, we should now re consider the odds of the greatest clay court player of his generation.

Rafa Nadal has an unmatched record on clay, and so he will be giving his best shot at the French Open this year. But his grueling schedule may work in favor of his opponents in other tournaments.

Roger will be watching for sure !

4) Ljubicic as Roger’s coach

3) New found confidence

While it is easy to say that you feel like you can win another Grand Slam, somewhere at the back of his head Roger Federer must have doubted whether or not he could actually win another one.

But he has been able to achieve just that and it would have done wonders to his confidence.

This new found confidence could now be carried forward into the rest of the season.

2) Djokovic’s poor form

Djokovic has had a horrible last few months in his career.

Things started to go downhill for him since his loss at the Rio Olympics which seems to have shaken his confidence.

He soon started losing matches and then eventually lost his World Number One ranking to Andy Murray.

He will need to get out of this rut if he needs to get back to his best.

Andy Murray should be the favorite heading into this year’s Wimbledon and rightly so.

The defending champion and World Number One will also have his hometown support which would make him the crowd favorite in every match.

But things might get interesting if he faces Roger Federer. Roger becomes the adopted son when he plays at Center Court.

And if this indeed his last ever Wimbledon, he would want to end things with another title in his kitty !
