Swiss tennis legend Roger Federer gave the slight edge to Spanish star Carlos Alcaraz at Wimbledon while picking a trio of players on the women's side.

Roger Federer singled out six players at Wimbledon as he made his return to Centre Court on Monday, having recently revealed his predictions for the tournament. The eight-time SW19 champion watched on from the Royal Box as Novak Djokovic took on Alex de Minaur, with his long-time foe Djokovic one of the names on Federer’s select list.

According to Women’s Wear Daily, Federer was asked about who he thought would win the Wimbledon men’s singles title and said that Alcaraz was ‘slightly favoured’ over Sinner and Djokovic. Meanwhile, in the women’s singles, Federer believes either Aryna Sabalenka – the world No.1 – or defending champion Barbora Krejčíková will come out on top.
