Former Wimbledon champion
Goran Ivanisevic has warned those writing
Roger Federer off ahead of the US Open that they are making a big mistake.
But although
Ivanisevic acknowledges
Djokovic is the favourite for the final
grand slam of the year, the Croat believes 32-year-old
Federer can still mount a challenge in New York.
'You expect it to be one of the three players [
Djokovic, Nadal or
Murray]
but there is also a man called
Roger Federer. Everyone wants to say he is finished
but I would not say that.
'That court is faster than all the others, he caused
Nadal problems last week [in Cincinnati],
and if he has a good "mind" he can do damage and he can still win it.
'The favourite is
Djokovic for me, but two years ago when
Djokovic won it,
Roger had match point against him in the semis and should have won. He can still do it.'
said
Ivanisevic.
