Roger Federer will shake off his latest Roland Garros mugging, wrap himself up in his trusty All England Club security blanket and target Bjorn Borg's record of five successive Wimbledon titles here next week.
Having seen his latest bid for Grand Slam immortality shot down once again by Rafael Nadal on the French Open clay, the world No. 1 returns to the grass of center court where he is the undoubted ruler.
Victory on July 8 will place the Swiss just two titles shy of Pete Sampras's record of seven Wimbledon crowns and level Borg's five-in-a-row from 1976-1980.
Few will bet against the 25-year-old going on to become the both the all-time Wimbledon king and Grand Slam title collector as a win here would give Federer his 11th major leaving Sampras's best of 14 tantalizingly within reach.
Despite Nadal again shattering his hopes of becoming just the third man in history to hold all four Grand Slam titles at the same time, Federer insists that defeat in Paris will have no bearing on his Wimbledon campaign.
"It's always easy to forget the clay season because there was so much talk about it. Once you get on the grass, great. If you lose, you kind of forget about it. I'm very excited about the grass season. Everything is in the past," he said.
"This is a huge opportunity for me once again, to win Wimbledon. And hopefully win my fifth in a row, that would be absolutely incredible," Federer said.
Borg is getting used to seeing his records matched; at Roland Garros, Nadal equalled his three consecutive French Opens.
The Swedish legend has already had reason to be grateful to Federer after the Swiss's shock win over Sampras in 2001 stopped the US player from also becoming a five-in-a-row Wimbledon winner.
"I have always seen an awful lot of myself in Roger, the way he approaches the game, the way he carries himself," Borg told Vogue magazine.
"He doesn't always let everything show on the surface, all of the emotion, but he cares about it strongly underneath," he said.
"Off court he is very relaxed. He's a very cool guy," Borg added.
If Federer is to be toppled, who is the likely slayer?
There hasn't been a Spanish men's champion since Manuel Santana in 1966.
But Spanish hero Nadal stunned everyone, himself included, by reaching the final last year after having to come back from a two-set deficit to beat unheralded US player Robert Kendrick in the second round.
The 21-year-old insists he can approach Wimbledon with the same mindset as last year -- with no pressure on a surface that is still alien to him.
US track and field athletes have about four dozen pieces to choose from when assembling their uniforms at the Olympics. The one grabbing the most attention is a high-cut leotard that barely covers the bikini line and has triggered debate between those who think it is sexist and others who say they do not need the Internet to make sure they have good uniforms. Among those critical or laughing at the uniforms included Paralympian Femita Ayanbeku, sprinter Britton Wilson and even athletes from other countries such as Britain’s Abigail Irozuru, who wrote on social media: “Was ANY female athlete consulted in
Four-time NBA all-star DeMarcus Cousins arrived in Taiwan with his family early yesterday to finish his renewed contract with the Taiwan Beer Leopards in the T1 League. Cousins initially played a four-game contract with the Leopards in January. On March 18, the Taoyuan-based team announced that Cousins had renewed his contract. “Hi what’s up Leopard fans, I’m back. I’m excited to be back and can’t wait to join the team,” Cousins said in a video posted on the Leopard’s Facebook page. “Most of all, can’t wait to see you guys, the fans, next weekend. So make sure you come out and support the Beer
Former US Masters champion Zach Johnson was left embarrassed after a foul-mouthed response to ironic cheers from spectators after a triple bogey at Augusta National on Friday. Johnson, the 2007 Masters winner, missed the cut after his three-over-par round of 75 left him on seven-over 151 for 36 holes, his six on the par-three 12th playing a big role in his downfall. Television footage showed Johnson reacting to sarcastic cheers and applause when he tapped in for the triple bogey by yelling: “Oh fuck off.” Such a response would be considered bad form in any golf tournament, but is particularly out of keeping
The sacred flame for the Paris Olympics was lit yesterday in Olympia, Greece, the birthplace of the ancient Games, in a ceremony inspired by antiquity and marked by messages of hope amid multiple global crises. “In ancient times, the Olympic Games brought together the Greek city states, even — and in particular — during times of war and conflict,” International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach said. “Today, the Olympic Games are the only event that brings the entire world together in peaceful competition. Then as now, the Olympic athletes are sending this powerful message — yes, it is possible to compete fiercely
