VERDICT

Probably the greatest player of all time, Federer should win here and continue his dominance of the game. His statistics are phenominal. He's won eight of the last 12 Slams (including two here), has a win-loss record of 247-15 over the past three years and will soon take over as the longest-running world number one in the game's history. Has all the shots in the book - plus some that aren't - with his only weakness being the slower claycourts. Hard to see him being beaten.
