Every time he has won in the past, he has gone on to win Wimbledon too.
Federer has now won 59 consecutive matches on grass, and there is no doubt he will be the top seed at Wimbledon.
Rafael Nadal will be number two when the seedings are confirmed later this week, raising the possibility of a Federer-Nadal final on centre court for the third year in a row.
