Nadal the Wimbledon favourite?


Rafael Nadal must feel like this could be the year that he dethrones Roger Federer at Wimbledon. He demolished Federer in the French Open final and seems to have the edge over the world number one at the moment, but grass is a very different surface to clay. Nadal will need to draw on all his shots and come to the net more often if he wants to take Federer's treasured title away from him.

Former Wimbledon legend Bjorn Borg has already picked Nadal as his winner at the London event which starts next week. He says for him the great Federer is only third in line - after Novak Djokovic.
