Just like Rafael Nadal has the command on one tourney: the French Open as he has won four straight Roland Garros titles, Roger Federer is the leader at Wimbledon with 5 straight titles, and yesterday he proved why he’s the favorite to come up with a sixth championship as he easily beat Dominik Hrbaty by 6-3 6-2 6-2.
Yesterday’s win meant the 60th on-a-row victory playing on grass for Roger Federer which confirms why he’s the world’s number one.
This was some sort of rivalry-adjustment for Federer against Hrbaty as the slovakian beat the spaniard on their previous two matches, and both are close friends and practice together regularly, they have also played doubles together, which made the match even more interesting as the two tennists were trying to prove who were the best, this time it was Federer’s time to win.
On the women’s side, Venus Williams is a strong title contender as she has won 4 Wimbledon titles already, but Maria Sharapova, whom Williams defeated at last year’s finals might be looking to take revenge.
We will have to wait and see if the forecasts will stand and Federer and Williams comes as this year’s tourney winners.
