Federer is still the favorite for Wimbledon

Some people always overreact like hell.

Last year he played bad in stutgart and lost in r2 to haas!

In halle he won but it was far from impressive, he didnt play that great but scraped through.

He lost many times in previous years in the grass warm ups and then went on to win Wimbledon.

He went deep in stutgart and now played halle and played matches every day, at almost 37 years old, he even said himself after the QF that he feels tired.

Coric won his match yesterday by retirement and actuall had a whole day of rest compared to federer.

Halle surface was actually quite bad and very weird bounces.

Those are alot of things going against fed.

He will be fine in Wimbledon and that will be completely different, he is the guy to beat and if he serves like he did in stutgart he will be hard to beat by anyone.

Of course grass has thin margins and a big hitter having the match of his life can always suprize anyone, but if I would pick anyone to win Wimbledon it would be Fed, so chill people.

He didn't play one bad match though, this time he played a whole bad tournament.
He is not a clear cut favourite and one shouldn't expect him to be clear cut favourite at 36 in any tournament. He is more prone to upsets on any given day.

Djokovic, Cilic and Federer is a pool of favourites, no clear cut among them.

Yep. Agree 100%.

He was never really invested in Halle and never got out of second gear. He got everything he needed from Stuttgart.

I really don’t remember this panic when he got thwarted in straights by Haas at Halle 2012....

We can't keep using last year to predict what will happen this year. Anyone who's been watching tennis knows Federer isn't playing like last year. Last year he didn't choke MPs at IW or lose to Kokkinakis.

Last year he didn't get broken like a clown in Halle or lose to Zverev in the final. I don't think he's the favorite.
