What does Steve Flink expect from Roger Federer at Wimbledon Championships 2021?

On Monday Match Analysis with Gill Gross, the American reporter shared his viewpoints on many subjects. Most significantly, near the end of the show, he talked about Federer at Wimbledon Championships 2021.

Precisely, Gill asked him what result would surprise him coming from the Swiss maestro in London. He replied, “The two that would surprise me would be a second or third round loss or a miraculous run to the title.”

Furthermore, Flink stated that he’d be even more surprised with the latter result. For the same, he pointed out many questions that have no definite answer as yet.

“‘Can he get to the 16s, quarters, could he squeeze into the semis, does he really have it to get to the final,” Flink remarked. Also, he added that he’s having a hard time seeing the seven matches given how little tennis he’s played this year.

Conclusively, Flink explained that although he saw an early upset to Felix Auger-Aliassime in Halle, it would equally surprise him to see Federer crashing out to a non-seed or low seed in Wimbledon. According to him, it all relies on how much he trusts in his game and his body.
