Federer and Williams still have a chance in the wild card

However, Roger Federer and Serena Williams will be the “door” to play at Wimbledon. They can receive wild cards, which will be announced shortly before the start of the competition. On the other hand, it is difficult to expect him to decide to do so, especially from a Swiss. – I have to be very patient and give my knee time to heal. The coming months will be important. Federer predicted for Le Matin daily last November that he would be very surprised if I came to play at Wimbledon.

Federer last appeared on the court a year ago – then he lost to Hubert Hurcocks in the Wimbledon quarterfinals. He had surgery on his knee and it was speculated that he might end his life. However, the 20-time Grand Slam winner in April said his rehab was going well and he wanted to return to the game.

Serena Williams’ break is even longer. He has not played since June last year after losing to Sasnovich in the first round in London. He withdrew during the first set due to a thigh injury. Interestingly, however, Serena Williams announced her return to Wimbledon two months ago.
