THE PREDICTION
36-year-old Rafael Nadal has completely changed the conversation this season with a miraculous run to the Australian Open title soon after returning from surgery on a foot issue and then somehow bettering that feat by winning a 14th Roland-Garros title with a totally numbed foot. The Spaniard is now two ahead of Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer in the Men’s Singles Grand Slam race from out of the blue and seemingly well capable of the impossible – like winning a third Wimbledon title soon after undergoing a new nerve-numbing procedure.
23-year-old Francisco Cerundolo set a new career-high ATP world ranking of 42nd this week after reaching the quarter-finals of Queen’s. The Argentine is most comfortable on the clay but a run to the semi-finals of the Miami Open back in March, out of the blue as it was, displayed some serious potential across the tour. Cerundolo will make his Wimbledon debut here in the biggest way possible but a certain amount of awe is likely to see him lose in straight sets to Nadal, who so often blasts through the earlier rounds of Grand Slams. Take Nadal to win in three.
