Six-time Wimbledon champion Roger Federer has a favorable bracket this summer at the All England Club, and he will be a lock for the semifinals when the tournament begins Monday, June 25.

Federer enters the season's third Grand Slam event as the No. 3 seed on the men's side, which means, barring an unthinkable upset, he will likely be pitted against world No. 1 Novak Djokovic in the semifinals two weeks from now.

Federer's biggest challenges within his draw will be the No. 11-seeded American, John Isner, and No. 13 seed Gilles Simon. Isner presents all sorts of problems for his opponents on the tennis court considering he has remarkable size. At 6'9" there aren't a whole lot of balls that Isner can't get to.

Federer hasn't been knocked out in the first week of Wimbledon since 2002 when he went out in the first round. The very next year, he began a streak of seven straight Wimbledon final appearances, winning six of them in all. 

Fed will come through like he always does on the famed grass of Wimbledon this summer. He will conquer his bracket and make a classic run to the semifinals before being halted by the de...
