Rafael Nadal's uncle fires Wimbledon warning to Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic


Rafael Nadal's uncle Toni Nadal has suggested that his nephew could be the favourite to win at Wimbledon. The Spaniard was widely expected to win a record-breaking 21st Grand Slam title at Roland Garros but was denied by his 'Big Three' rival at the end of a thrilling semi-final. "In the first games of the third set, Stefanos lacked some aggression and that extra concentration more experienced players often give in the important moments," Toni told El Pais, running the rule over the French Open final. "Djokovic took notice of the situation, increased his pace of play and maintained the same intensity until the end. He went from dominated to dominator. "And as the games progressed, I think we all had the feeling that the scoreboard was going to be definitively pronounced in favour of the Serbian. "We saw a good game and a denouement that brings Novak dangerously close to Federer and Rafael, in their struggle to close their respective careers as the greatest conqueror of Grand Slam titles. "The next two tournaments, Wimbledon and the US Open, will probably be decisive in unveiling it. I would not dare to venture conclusions, but I do dare to maintain the confidence that it is my nephew who raises one of the two."
