Roger Federer or Novak Djokovic will win Wimbledon, says Davenport
In an interview with Talk Sport, former world no. 1 Lindsay Davenport commented on her Wimbledon favorites. The American said: “I’d be stunned if it’s not Novak [Djokovic] or Roger [Federer]. Rafa [Nadal] is great but his results on grass over the last few years have not been perfect, I think the surface is hard on his knee but because the courts are slower this year maybe that’ll help him."
Speaking of the women's side, Davenport added: "Who knows? Who would have picked Ashleigh Barty to win the French Open? There are about ten or twelve women who could win the tournament. The men’s side is not the case. You feel it will be two or three guys with a chance."
On Johanna Konta, Davenport concluded: "She’s had such a great clay court season which typically isn’t her strongest suit and that will give her confidence to play here. It’s not easy for her though, she’s under a lot of pressure and wants to play well here. But her game translates well on this surface – taking the ball early, being aggressive, hitting them hard and flat. She’s gotten more used to handling the pressure when playing in this country. I’d like her to do well, I don’t mind her draw either. She’s got the confidence from playing so well at the French and I think it could be a big Wimbledon for her."
