Wimbledon 2022

This is a must win for djkovic if he wants to win most slams. Wimbledon have banned number 2 player, number 3 player is injured, number 4 player is a doubt

Djokovic is the overwhelming favourite to win at evens. The 2nd favourite for Wimbledon is Alcaraz at 6/1.

The toughest task for djkovic could be bannana skins like cilic in last 16 or Felix in quarter's

On paper,If he avoids certain players this could be one of the easiest grand slam victorys of his career

Then there is the Nadal question. If he plays and is fit. If he avoids certain player's, he has his best chance in years to win another Wimbledon

The only person I can see maybe rising to the occasion is Felix. Tsiitipas should go far but results wise, he is going backwards since french open defeat. Alcaraz has only won one match on grass ever? . I believe the reason that he is second favourite is the unknown bit. I think a good result for him would be last 16

Who else is there? That can win the tournament?

Matteo Berretini isn't one to write off. Just back from injury now ans will get time to get games under his belt before Wimbledon. If he gets a nice draw he could go for. Outside of Novak he has the tools to beat anyone.

In fairness, Alcaraz does look the real deal. Multiple M1000 won whilst still 19. The FO was obviously a disappointment for him, but I can see him doing well in the slams from here on, particularly the USO. He's a unknown quantity for Wimbledon though, with his lack of grass pedigree

Yes. Thank you for that correction. 7 players won. 5 player's dominated in that period

Berrettini, FAA, Nadal all have the potential to do so.

Now I don't think any of them will do so, but you keep asking you can beat him, and I believe those 3 can, if they play lights out and Djokovic has an off day

I'd have him more than slight fav. Djokovic has been the best grass courter for the last 10 years, so it's hard to make an argument against him. The only caveat I would add is his fitness/conditioning. He looked gassed towards the end of the FO. Although grass matches tend to be shorter, if someone can take him to 5, who knows how he will hold up? Of course, Nadals foot is the biggest unknown entity at this point.

Way to make me feel old - she was playing when I was a kid 😭

She's been great, was sorry to see her finish on QoS (although the shake-up was good for the programme overall IMO), and will definitely miss her on Wimbledon coverage.

So he's hobbling about for no reason then? Or getting the laser ablation (or whatever it's called) treatment all for pretence?

Nadal has been injured throughout his whole career, has a history of it, but is faking it now? Maybe that makes some people feel better about the fact that he beat Djokovic on one leg.

I don't know about Nadal, he last won Wimbledon in 2010 and his last final was the following year.

I thought Djok looked slightly off the pace in that French final, regardless of how well Nadal played. The question is is he just a bit rusty, or is he starting to decline (by historical standards these guys are ancient for top players).

Murray has a winnable first round match, but then will probably meet Isner in the 2nd round which will likely be the end.

Van Uytvanck Is decent on grass so that’s not an easy draw for Raducanu. Halep Muchova looks the tie of the first round on the Wta side.

Berrettini has a decent draw until quarters where he’s due to meet Tsitsipas and then Nadal, I don’t think Nadal will reach the semis. However I’ve written him off so many times and ended up with egg on my face so take that prediction with a pinch of salt.

I saw some pictures of Alcarez practicing and his elbow was very heavily strapped.

Kyrios due to meet Tsitsipas in third round, popcorn match right there.
