Seven-time Grand Slam champion Mats Wilander says the further Wimbledon progresses, the more likely Rafael Nadal is to win. However, Wilander points out that this doesn’t necessarily mean Nadal will beat Novak Djokovic in an eventual Wimbledon final.
As the tournament progresses, playing conditions slow down, with the grass drying out and wearing down. “How you look and feel after two games is absolutely irrelevant because they will only play in the final,” he said.
“Both players will still have four games to play,” Wilander told Eurosport. “The Wimbledon court will be completely different if they play in the final.
It will be drier, more worn. He’s going to play more like a clay court. But the longer the tournament lasts, the more the surface will favor Rafa Nadal. That doesn’t mean that I think Nadal is necessarily going to beat Djokovic in the final, but as I said before, they are winning matches and are at the top of their game at the right time.
So far they haven’t had to hit their peak.” Nadal and Djokovic are progressing well at Wimbledon and are considered the two main favorites for the Wimbledon title.
In the draw, Nadal, Djokovic and Matteo Berrettini were considered the top three favorites. Nadal and Berrettini were due to meet in the semi-finals of Wimbledon, but the Italian contracted covid-19 and was forced to withdraw from Wimbledon.
