Roger Federer has not been a part of competitive tennis for almost a year now and with his records, his GOAT status, and his titles in a jeopardy, the Swiss maestro, on the verge of being 40, is looking to make an epic comeback in Australian Open 2021.

In the recently announced entry list for next year’s first Grand Slam, Federer as well as the likes of Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, and Serena Williams are a part of the fray. And while asking the 40-year-old Fed to have the same impact as a 26-year-old one would be foolhardy, the legend has expressed his desire to do his best.

“I don’t think he’s got a shot to win the Australian Open or the French, those will be big asks for him,” was what former world number 4 Greg Rusedski said. “He can still have good runs there but won’t win them. Wimbledon, that’s where he’s aiming at.”
