At the age of 40, 20-time Grand Slam champion Roger Federer is on the verge of retirement. However, he may push for one last run on the ATP tour as he is trying to recover from a knee surgery, which he underwent late last year. 

Meanwhile, his long-time rival, Rafael Nadal won his 21st Grand Slam title at the Australian Open and booked the top place in terms of majors won. Talking about the Big-3, legendary champion Bjorn Borg shared his opinion on Federer’s chances of winning another Grand Slam title.

Borg thinks it will be hard for Roger Federer to win a Grand Slam

Borg was all praise for Rafael Nadal’s incredible performance at the Australian Open. Coming to Federer, Borg felt that it will be difficult for him to enjoy a successful comeback.  

“Roger will always be one of the favorites before the tournament, but the slams last for two weeks, it seems to me that it makes things harder for him,” Borg said.
