During the latest Match Points episode, Rothenberg, Bartoli and Rubin were asked to pick one of Roger Federer or Serena Williams as the player more likely to win a Slam in 2021. Rothenberg, a renowned New York Times journalist, went with Roger Federer on the ground that Serena Williams is not confident about doing well at the business end of Slams anymore.
Rothenberg does reckon, however, that both Federer and Williams have their best chance of winning a Slam at Wimbledon.
Rothenberg also feels that 2021 is the last chance for both Roger Federer and Serena Williams to add to their Grand Slam tally, given their age.
World No. 250 Noah Rubin, however, was far more skeptical of Roger Federer’s chances in 2021. Rubin questioned the 39-year-old’s ability to withstand back-to-back best-of-five matches against top-ranked players.
I still see Roger Federer getting the title at Wimbledon: Marion Bartoli
Former Wimbledon champion Marion Bartoli thinks that Roger Federer has it in him to win a record-extending 9th Wimbledon title. However, like Noah Rubin, she also opined that between him and Serena Williams, the latter is likelier to win another Slam.
Bartoli cited the American’s recent record in the Majors as a reason for her belief.
