According to Women’s Wear Daily, Federer was asked about who he thought would win the Wimbledon men’s singles title and said that Alcaraz was ‘slightly favoured’ over Sinner and Djokovic. Meanwhile, in the women’s singles, Federer believes either Aryna Sabalenka – the world No.1 – or defending champion Barbora Krejčíková will come out on top.

Unlike his top rival Jannik Sinner – who conceded just 17 games to his opponents in the first three rounds of Wimbledon and did not lose a single set – Carlos Alcaraz has not had a perfect run so far and has had to struggle more than expected to enter the second week.

Alcaraz's arch-rival Jannik Sinner has taken a completely different approach. His coach Darren Cahill asked Djokovic to break down the Italian's game to the finest detail.
