5 reasons Roger Federer can win Wimbledon 2017

The Master of Grass

That Federer is the best grass-court player in the history of the game is not a new fact, but let’s look at the numbers. Federer has a whopping 86.7% winning percentage on grass in his career, which he shares with fellow all-time great Martina Navratilova – the highest winning percentage on that surface of all time.

The player has had simply staggering statistics on that surface ever since he went professional, topping at out 15 grass court wins to only two losses in 2012, the year of his most recent Wimbledon title.

Even in the one year he ‘struggled’ with fitness – 2016, Federer had a 10/3 record then – proving not even injuries can stand in the way of his grass court dominance. Now having returned with none of those problems, Federer is the player to beat by a long margin.
