Returning to Wimbledon 2021, Roger Federer was placed a lot of doubts. Reward after a long break due to injury, with 2 knee surgeries in 2020, the Swiss tennis player has been constantly disappointing recently.
FedEx participated in Qatar Exxonmobil Open in March and reached the quarterfinals, then stopped in the second round of Geneva Open in his home town of Switzerland. Next, he only hit 3 rounds at Roland Garros and then decided to withdraw from the tournament in the fourth round. To the grass season, the “speed train” welcomed the next shock when eliminated from the second round in Halle Open.
However, the expectations and beliefs that Federer fans are still great. At Wimbledon, he is still a record with 8 times crowned. At the age of 39, the world's No. 8 player still yearns to add to the collection of the 9th trophy, also the 21st Grand Slam title in his career.
Currently, Federer has passed the first round after a somewhat lucky victory against Adrian Mannarino. Today (July 1), the Swiss star will enter the second round with Richard Gasquet. The two players will have a match at 22:30 tonight.
Like Federer, Gasquet has passed the peak of his career. In the past, the French tennis player has risen to the 7th place in the World ATP rankings, and at the same time reached the Wimbledon semi -finals. However, the age and injury made him lose his performance and dropped to 56.
Notably, Federer and Gasquet were familiar with each other. Accordingly, they used to have 20 times in official tournaments. History is leaning towards FedEx with 18 victories. However, at the 21st meeting, any scenario can happen.
