Rafa Nadal's hopes of winning Wimbledon for the first time in over a decade and staying on track for the calendar year Grand Slam will meet a familiar adversary in Novak Djokovic who is bidding to extend his domination at the grasscourt major.
When Djokovic won Wimbledon for the sixth time and the third in a row in 2021, it was his 20th major title - putting him in a three-way tie with Roger Federer and Nadal in the race for the most Grand Slam titles among men. The 36-year-old Nadal, who has not played Wimbledon since his 2019 semi-final loss to Federer, beat Djokovic in the Roland Garros quarter-finals this month before going on to lift a record-extending 14th French Open title and 22nd major.
"He's been winning there. He's the defending champion, and it's going to be super difficult to beat him. He serves great, he returns perfect, he moves well, he plays deep. Poland's Hubert Hurkacz will also count himself among the challengers after crushing Medvedev to win the ATP 500 grasscourt tournament in Halle, Germany on Sunday.
