Despite struggling with an injury only a few days before the 2022 Wimbledon started, Rafael Nadal is doing well in the All England Club.
In the first two matches, he defeated Francisco Cerundolo and Ricardas Berankis losing one set to both players. However, his performances were quite solid and Rafael Nadal is one of the favourites to win the 2022 Wimbledon, although it's "his worst surface" according to Mats Wilander.
“There have been years when he hasn't been able to play Wimbledon but he keeps coming back. The consistency of Roger and Rafa and Novak and Grand Slam tournaments is just unbelievable. He's 36 years old; he has that tape on his abdominal muscle; he has the foot issue."
“I think it's good... to take a break [for the rain delay, but] to be able to come out and play this well and to win matches on probably his worst surface in many ways, even though he has won more Wimbledons than Australian Opens. Grass courts are a great equaliser for a lot of the lower-ranked players. I think they believe that they might have a small chance to beat even the greatest of all time.”
