Federer is truly done. He is like Ken Rosewall during 1974-1977. He won't come back this time. It's over...
He won't even make the first week of Wimbledon unless he has only clay court players. And even if he make the QF with some miracle, Djokodal and Zverev will destroy him.
It was already a miracle that he was able to have his AO 2017 run (one of his best victories ever, to beat his nemesis like that while being 1-3 down in the fifth set) and his W 2019 run (the fact he was a point away to beat Djokodal in a row proved his greatness) like Connors was able to have his great USO 1991 run but he can't compete with the Father Time. He is 40 y.o and it is a battle he can only lose.
His last hurrah was the Wimbledon Final 2019. He could have erased Djokovic for ever in the Slam Race (21-15 is a HUGE difference instead of 20-16) and now Djokovic is just 21 sets to dethrone him (Federer has just only 1 GS more than Djokovic and nothing more, Djokovic has all the other records with him (DCGS, N°1 Weeks, Double Career Golden Master, YE N°1 - his chances of having the #7 in November are huge right now).
Federer can't do nothing right now to protect his legacy. It's all depend of Djokovic. If Djokovic play his regular tennis (being physically and mentally fine), he will win this Wimbledon as nobody can stop him.
Federer will be remembered as one of the greatest players ever and his style, his epic battles with Djokodal will never be forgotten, but it is time to call it a career (at Basel 2021)
