WIMBLEDON, England (AP) - The last man to win a true Grand Slam in tennis thinks it could happen again.
Rod Laver won all four of the sport's most prestigious tournaments in 1962 and 1969, and he says Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal are both capable of matching the feat.
Speaking before Federer plays Andy Roddick in the Wimbledon final Sunday, Laver says Federer «would have won a Grand Slam if Rafa wasn't there.
Federer won three of the four major titles in 2004, 2006 and 2007. The latter two years, he lost to Nadal in the French Open final.
Laver says: «The Australian, the U.S. and Wimbledon was pretty easy for him, when you look back at his career, winning three of each one. But Nadal came along and pushed him back.
