"Djokovic, Nadal, Berrettini" - Rusedski on the players capable of winning Wimbledon

| by Drew Tate

Former British number one Greg Rusedski feels like there are only three players who can realistically win Wimbledon.

Rusedski, a former Wimbledon quarterfinalist played at the event many times and knows how difficult it is to win. Speaking to Amazon Prime ahead of the event he noted that many players have to potential to win Wimbledon or any other grand slams however doing so actually requires several things to go right. From talent to a bit of luck to a certain type of mentality.

The problem you have is, you have players who have the potential but winning is a totally different thing. Making the finals is one thing, but you have to have this mindset that's absolutely insane these days because of the big three or four we've had over the generations.

Explaining further Rusedki singled out three players he feels can realistically do it. Obviously, there is Djokovic who will be highly motivated according to Rusedski, then there is Nadal who proved this year that you can't really write him off and a red-hot Berrettini who has not peaked yet but he's still dominating on grass.

Djokovic is angry because he hasn't won a slam this year and the way he went out to Rafa in the French Open will have hurt him. Rafa's trying to go for the calendar slam. He wouldn't be showing up if his foot wasn't 100 per cent and he was ready to go and Berrettini has been by far the best. Hurkacz is a guy who can go deep - semis or final - but win? Not with those three. Those three guys at the moment have separated themselves from the pack.
