Roger Federer shocked many of the experts by winning Wimbledon in 2012 at the age of 30. If he is to repeat as Wimbledon champion and capture his eighth title at the All England Club, he will have to battle through his share of tough opponents.

The Wimbledon draw is separated into four sections. Federer is the third seed in the third section of the draw. He's the highest seed in his section, but there are still potential pitfalls for the future Hall of Famer.

The following players represent the most difficult potential challenges Federer could face from each section.

 

Novak Djokovic

Possible Meeting in Finals



Federer owns a 16-13 edge over Djokovic in their careers and won their only meeting at Wimbledon in 2012, but Djokovic is still a dangerous draw.

He's still the No. 1 player in the world, and he won Wimbledon in 2011. Djokovic won their last meeting and will be looking to claim his first Grand Slam title since he won the 2012 Australian Open.

It has been 17-plus months since he captured a Grand Slam title. Considering the torrid pace Djokovic set beginning in 2011, this is a significant drought. 

Djokovic would be a tough out for Federer in the final.

 

Juan Martin del Potro

Possible Meeting in Finals



Fed has beaten JMDP 13 of the 17 times they've met, but the 24-year-old Argentinian has won the last two meetings.

Neither of those wins came in best-of-five-set matches, but JMDP did knock Federer off to win the 2009 U.S. Open in a five-set masterpiece. His big serve and powerful forehand can be major issues for Fed.

JMDP is the kind of player who can be dominant when he's on. If he reaches the finals and meets Fed, you can bet he'll be playing very well.

 

Rafael Nadal

Possible Meeting in Quarterfinals
