Confident Roger Federer gives himself good odds of finally winning the a sixth Wimbledon title and completing the clay-grass Grand Slam double achieved by Rafael Nadal at his expense a year ago.
"I think I'm favorite at Wimbledon with the success that I've had," said the 14-time Grand Slam champion, level alongside Pete Sampras as the man with the most majors in his resume. "There are lots of dangerous players, but I have the game and the experience to win at Wimbledon many more times, I'd like to get this one this year."
Federer admitted that has yet to decide if he will travel to Halle, Germany this week to defend his grass title. "I feel fine but I'm mentally drained and exhausted. It's hard right now to do anything, but I'm happy Paris is over, it was a long, hard three weeks."
The Swiss, who celebrated well into the wee hours of Monday with a modest amount of champagne and up to 60 friends from Switzerland, said that once he arrives for the Wimbledon fortnight (which begins June 22), "You start to get into a different frame of mind. I love going there and it only takes me a few hours to feel at home."
