Federer focused on title alone
Roger Federer will banish thoughts of creating tennis history as he seeks to regain his Wimbledon title.
Federer's victory in the French Open earlier this month saw him become only the sixth man to complete a career Grand Slam.
And a first triumph at Roland Garros also meant the Swiss star equalled Pete Sampras' record of 14 major titles.
The 27-year-old now has the chance to break that record at the All England Club, where he has already won five titles and was only denied a sixth in succession by Rafael Nadal in last year's epic final.
With Nadal absent this year through injury, Federer is the hot favourite to lift the trophy again come July 5, but the world number two is trying to keep thoughts of a record 15th grand slam at the back of his mind.
"In Paris it was just about trying to win my first Paris," Federer said.
"Then if it happens at the same time that I was able to tie Andre Agassi or Rod Laver by winning all four majors, or the 14 of Sampras, it was maybe very fitting that it all happened at once.
