Roger Federer is the most accomplished men’s tennis player of all time. Although he is 35 years old, the Swiss singles player is still playing at a very high level in the back-end of his prime. While he did sit out the 2017 French Open at Stade Roland Garros earlier this summer, he will be back in full force for the 2017 Wimbledon Championships.

Federer will be the No. 3 seed in the 2017 Wimbledon Championships at All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in Wimbledon, London. Though he last won it all in Wimbledon back in 2012, Federer has seven Wimbledon Championships to his name.

Sure, Federer hasn’t won as many grand slam tournaments in the last four or five years since turning 30. However, he is clearly picking his tournaments wisely in the back-end of his prime.
