Will Roger Federer Drop a Set?

June 26, 2007 by Larry Brown • Comments

I’m not even going to ask if someone can knock him off. I wonder if someone will even take a set from him. That’s going to be the real challenge. On Day 1 at Wimbledon, Roger advanced in straight sets, 6-3, 6-2, 6-4. That’s almost like not even breaking a sweat. He’s going for his fifth straight Wimbledon title, which would tie him with Bjorn Borg for most consecutive titles at the All England Club.

When asked in an interview with Chris Fowler after the match whom he feels will present the greatest challenge, Roger didn’t really have a good answer. He mentioned Roddick’s serve, Hewitt’s ability, and the finals last year against Nadal. He really didn’t seem too concerned. Not in a cocky way, but in a way that suggested the tournament is his for the taking. He’ll win it with ease. The only question is if he can go through the draw without dropping a set. Now that would be awesome.
