Roger Federer believes that he is in "perfect" shape ahead of Wimbledon, which gets underway on Monday morning.
The six-time champion at SW19 has been forced to watch Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal compete for the last four Grand Slam titles.
However, world number three Federer believes that he has every chance of breaking the duo's current stronghold on men's tennis.
"I think it's up to somebody else to break that mould. They have done amazingly well the last few years, not just the last year or so," he told reporters. "Hopefully it's my time of the year now. It's exciting times ahead. I fancy my chances here and at the US Open.
"As long as they're number one and number two, they face each other in the final. It's maybe a good thing for them, a hard thing for us. At the same time, I'm very close to breaking that, and hopefully I can make a run here at Wimbledon.
"My confidence is very good. I've won very many tournaments, so many matches the last year or so that I feel perfect in this regard. I'm match-fit. I'm match-tough right now, and I think that's also key going into a Grand Slam."
Federer last emerged victorious from Wimbledon back in 2009.
