Only the brave would bet against Novak Djokovic retaining his Wimbledon title or Rafa Nadal keeping his calendar year Grand Slam hopes alive, but the form and fitness of the duo offers others a rare opportunity at the grasscourt major this year.
Berrettini, who had hand surgery in March, beat Filip Krajinovic 7-5 6-4 on Sunday to join John McEnroe, Jimmy Connors, Boris Becker and Andy Murray as back-to-back winners at the Wimbledon tune-up tournament. "I arrived in Stuttgart, wasn't feeling great," Berrettini said."I wasn't hitting the ball how I wanted and I was like 'I think it is going to be tough'. But it has gone pretty well."I don't know if it's too much hype or not but I'd be lying if I told you that the main goal is not to win Wimbledon. I may be one of the ones you can bet on but there are others. Rafa Nadal wasn't there last year and it'll not be easy.
