Former Top-20 Player Wally Masur said that it is hard to count out Roger Federer from any Major Event and that the Swiss has a really strong chance of winning Wimbledon next year.
Australian Wally Masur recently joined the bandwagon of people that believe that Swiss Roger Federer can win another Major. In a recent interview, Masur commented, 'It's very hard to say no. I think Wimbledon is the one,' he said.
'I honestly thought that year he beat Murray, to win another major was beyond him. But when he beat Andy Murray at Wimbledon last year he was in all sorts of trouble in the third or fourth round against Julien Benneteau, he wasn't quite there.'
'A week later and he was holding the trophy. I'd be loath to say he can't because he may be stung into action after he lost to Tommy Robredo at the US Open. He was visibly dejected in the press conference and said that it's not good enough and he has to change the way he goes about things.'
'So maybe he has been stung into action. You can never discount someone with that ability if he has that desire to prove himself one more time. Pete Sampras and Andre Agassi did it late in their career and there's no reason why Federer can't do that.'
Federer is gunning to win his 18th Major Title and will be trying to set the record for winning the maximum number of Australian Open with 5 Titles. He is currently the joint leader with Novak Djokovic and Andre Agassi at 4 Titles.
