I’ve seen what he can do, not just once, not just here, but every place, at the highest level.“As long as he is in the draw, there is a chance and I think that’s one of the reasons he’s still playing because he truly must believe he can still do it, and that’s my opinion too,” he concluded.While Federer remains optimistic about Djokovic’s chances, the Serb’s fans will be hoping he can finally secure his long-awaited 25th Grand Slam title when he takes to the court at Flushing Meadows.Read more:Why Cristiano Ronaldo refuses to walk away at 41 as former Man Utd star reveals the driving forcePortland Trail Blazers dealt major injury blow as guard faces at least six-month absenceWarriors tipped to send Steph Curry to Rockets in blockbuster $172M deal for rising duo
