Many tennis pundits have backed 17-time Grand Slam winner Roger Federer to win yet another major or so; and Wally Masur is also one of them adding him to the list.
In an interview with the Sydney Morning Herald, the former Australian Open and US Open semifinalist was asked if Federer can pull off another Slam. '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 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 will bid for his 18th Slam, when he prepares for the Australian Open' warm up events, which start later this week.
