Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal sent Matteo Berrettini Wimbledon warning by Cam Norrie | Tennis | Sport

“Nadal won the Australian Open and Paris after he was injured, so yes I wouldn’t consider myself the favourite, but I like to think that I can win it. That’s the goal.” But another Brit also backed Berrettini to go all the way at Wimbledon, as Dan Evans said: “Yeah, I mean, the serve’s just a good serve, isn’t it? It doesn’t matter what surface it is. And the forehand, again, doesn’t matter what surface. And I think backhand’s hidden a bit with the grass helping his slice.

“I don’t see why not. I think last year would have probably helped him, his running in Wimbledon, the belief he has probably taken from that. I’d probably say he was quite tired last week and he did it pretty easily, as well. I think, come Wimbledon, he’ll be as good as he’s got, I think. He took a long time out and then won back-to-back. I think especially getting seeded eight now is a thing, as well. I think he’s definitely one of the favourites.”
