Federer has a trophy in his sights.

Roger Federer is determined to get his hands on the Wimbledon trophy for a fourth year in succession in a fortnight's time.

And if the Swiss star has his own way, that will be the only award he collects at the All England Club this year.

Federer will surpass Bjorn Borg's record of 41 straight grass court victories if he overcomes France's Richard Gasquet in the opening round, but could hardly care less about it ( "It's sort of nice" he concedes.

French Open winner Rafael Nadal was presented with a trophy for breaking Guillermo Vilas' record of 53 straight clay court victories after his first round win at Roland Garros, but Federer only has eyes for one accolade. "Honestly, it's not the right thing to get a trophy for streaks," insisted Federer, whose last defeat on grass was in the first round at Wimbledon in 2002, when he was beaten in straight sets by Mario Ancic.

"They did it at the French, which I thought was a little strange. I know that this will never happen at Wimbledon. I'm not even expecting it and I wouldn't want it either.

"I don't feel that's right. You get a trophy at the end of a tournament, not after a first-round win."

Federer is also looking to become only the third player in the open era to win Wimbledon for four years in a row. Pete Sampras was the last to do so from 1997-2000, while Borg won five in a row from 1976-1980.
