348 days ago, Roger Federer took to the court to play his last match as a professional with Rafael Nadal in the 2022 Laver Cup. Almost a year following that, the Helvetian is still linked to the racket and closely follows everything that happens in the professional circuit.
In a publicity act in Munich as an ambassador for the Mercedes brand, Federer was asked regarding the 2023 US Open and got wet choosing his favorite to lift the title at Arthur Ashe, the one where Carlos Alcaraz touched the sky a year ago, achieving his first Grand Slam and becoming the youngest number one in history.
In this way, Roger did not bet on a Carlos Alcaraz who has before him the opportunity to equal the Swiss himself as the first player to defend the title in New York since 2008, and opted for one of his great historical rivals along with Rafa Nadal.
Having made the prediction, with which Federer predicts that Djokovic will lift his 24th Grand Slam and continue writing history, it should be remembered that the Serbian will face Ben Shelton, a local promise, in the semifinals, while Carlos Alcaraz awaits the hard rock of the reborn Alexander Zverev to continue advancing in the tournament and have a chance to undo Federer’s gamble.
