Roger Federer says that tying Pete Sampras’ record of seven Wimbledon titles is on his mind. Federer, a 16-time Grand Slam champion, has not won a major since the 2010 Australian Open.
"There's always something on the line at this point when I play the Grand Slams just because I have the record already," Federer told reporters. "So I could push it one forward or I could tie with Sampras here. It's obviously something very special and important at this point really. I feel good about myself, about my body. I've recovered. The last week was vital for me to recover from my groin injury. I feel like I'm almost back at 100% again, which is a really good sign for Wimbledon."
