July 25, 2022

Roger Federer made a dramatic appearance on Centre Court a few weeks ago and received a standing ovation.

It was undoubtedly the highlight of the Centenary Celebrations and reminded the Swiss genius how much he is still loved at the All England Club.

It must also have created a longing in the world’s favourite superstar.

How Roger Federer would love to be back as a player one last time at Wimbledon 2023!

Andy Murray will be thinking he could enjoy a last hurrah too, alongside Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic.

The idea of the Big Four playing together again isn’t just a dream.

It looks set to become a reality in just a few weeks’ time in England.

Federer, Murray, Nadal and Djokovic are due to represent Team Europe against Team World in the Laver Cup at London’s O2 Arena in September.

But that event has more of an exhibition feel compared to the supreme Grand Slam magnificence that is Wimbledon 2023.

The Laver Cup is, however, an important stepping stone on Federer’s comeback trail.

If he is physically fit and able, Roger will want to make 2023 a farewell tour of his favourite tennis venues.

Roger Federer will focus on Wimbledon 2023 above all other events.

Just to win a match there one last time and receive the adulation of Centre Court as a player.

That’s what Roger Federer wants to do above all his other future tennis goals.

It would be a fitting farewell after everything the great man has done and all he has won.

Andy Murray had another taste of that Centre Court magic a few weeks ago and he loved it.

Like Federer, Murray will want to play at Wimbledon one last time.

Roger Federer versus Andy Murray at Wimbledon 2023. Imagine that!

Meanwhile Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal should still be genuine title contenders at the All England Club next summer.

Can the Big Four play Wimbledon 2023?

Yes, the dream is still a distinct possibility!

Roger Federer will make it happen if he possibly can.

We’re looking forward to living that dream on the cherished Wimbledon grass already!

How about you?

After playing in the quarter-finals at Wimbledon last year, Roger Federer has decided to undergo a new surgery to try to fix or at least improve the condition of his right knee. The defeat against Hubert Hurkacz on the lawns of the All England Club remains the last official match played by Federer on the major circuit; game in which the Swiss appeared in great difficulty from a physical point of view.

However, the Swiss has no intention of leaving tennis in this way and, in recent weeks, has returned to training in the gym. The 20-time Grand Slam champion also announced that he will participate in the 2022 Laver Cup and the ATP 500 tournament in Basel, scheduled for October 24-30.

Federer will use these months to reach the best possible conditions, because his real goal is to treat himself to a 2023 as a protagonist.

Tony Godsick on the future of Roger Federer

As revealed by longtime agent Tony Godsick to Standard Sport Roger's dream is to take the court at Wimbledon next season.

Godsick explained: "He Is exactly where he wants to be right now, but unfortunately it takes time. He will play the Laver Cup and the Swiss Indoors. I don't want to replace the doctors, but I hope he will be able to do a great rehabilitation this summer, play a few tournaments in the winter and have a great chance in 2023.

We'll see what happens. I haven't talked to him about this topic. Last year he made a big effort at Wimbledon playing on one leg. I think he would like to play this tournament again. It is a special place for him. Could he play other tournaments before the Laver Cup? Maybe, but more likely he will play them later than before.

He does not want to rush the times." At the Laver Cup, Federer will once again be able to team up in doubles with Rafael Nadal. The Majorcan has won his twenty-first Grand Slam at the Australian Open and at Roland Garros he will do his best to reach 22.

In addition to Nadal, the favorites for the final victory in Paris will be Novak Djokovic, Carlos Alcaraz and Stefanos Tsitsipas.

US colleague Ben Rothenberg said it won't be that easy for Novak Djokovic to return to top levels in 2023. He told: "As things stand, I would say that Carlos Alcaraz has a better chance than Novak Djokovic of winning the Australian Open 2023.

Nole has played very little this year and has inevitably lost the pace of the match. We have clearly noticed this in recent months. After missing the Australian Open and the American Masters 1000, he struggled more than expected to find the right automatisms.

I think he will try to play as much as possible in this season finale. However, it will not be easy for him to regain the confidence he had before. First, he is not yet legally allowed to enter Australia. He will probably be able to play, but it is not known when the decision will come.

Secondly, it will be necessary to see if he will still have the same feeling with the Australian Open after everything that happened in early 2022. The mental aspect has always been very important for Novak."

Novak Djokovic had ups and downs in 2023

Despite his victory at Wimbledon, 2022 was not an easy year for Novak Djokovic.

The former world number 1 paid dearly for his choice not to get vaccinated against the Coronavirus, as was to be expected. The Serbian phenomenon had to give up the Australian Open and the US Open, two events in which he would have been the big favorite for the final victory.

For the same reason, the 35-year-old from Belgrade also missed all the American Masters 1000 (Indian Wells, Miami, Montreal and Cincinnati). After the disappointment he suffered at Roland Garros, Nole redeemed himself at Wimbledon by equaling Pete Sampras' seven triumphs.

By beating Nick Kyrgios in the final, the 'Djoker' grabbed his 21st Grand Slam and narrowed the gap that separates him from Rafael Nadal in the all-time standings. In fact, the Spaniard was unable to extend at the US Open, stopping already in the second round in front of a wild Frances Tiafoe.
