Standing in his way of taking home the most prestigious title in tennis is a man on a streak of 20 straight games, 19 SW To avoid losing a battle of chewed grass in London since 2007, Nadal reached the final in the last five Wimbledon, it is challenged.
End of Andy Murray's hopes again in the semifinals, Nadal will have the confidence, he said Djokovic won two of its meetings grass cutting career.
What, then, Sunday is the stock fan Nadal and Djokovic is out of the sports cathedral?
Nadal looked more confident both in this tournament, but Djokovic has the clear advantage heading in. Mental Clipping the Majorcan twice on hard courts and more impressive on clay twice this spring, will Djokovic will need to use its athleticism and pin-point is used to add a grass victory against his main rival.
When the grass allows less time for Djokovic slid his shots as dirt, Serbia must be on their feet the first step to fight the Spanish to the wheel.
Nadal to me is the best volleyball player in the game, and use this tactic if the excess is victory. Djokovic did not hesitate at all when it spit back of Nadal's groundstrokes throughout the season, and one would think that the lawn would be a perfect opportunity for Nadal to attack the network drive.
While Nadal will remain as the king of clay, he must now surely be considered one of the best players in the courtyard of grass in the modern era. The slowdown of the court to allow Nadal to dictate more points with his slice serve and forehand, but Djokovic return match the best in the world right now, it will be difficult to deny.
From the perspective of athletes, who simply do nothing better than two guys in Sunday's final. Flexibility fitness and mental strength technique, Nadal and Djokovic showed the Tour this year are by far the two best players around.
From the dynamic point of view, I do not think that losing the first set will be detrimental to both players. The two champions are warning but at the same time showed the skills that come back are equally impressive.
The grass should give Nadal the advantage that it is to succeed. While Nadal right turn problems most skilled players on the tour, Djokovic was able to fight against the spin of the Spanish-speaking high, hitting two back is the lower end against the current success. However, the grass providing more slip lower bounce, Djokovic can not afford to walk or take shortcuts, as he did on clay and Nadal will certainly benefit.
For Djokovic, who are looking for, has used his slice backhand Nadal's serve is a two-sided and announcement, when it matters most. When suspects fitness concern for the seasons of 'last year, Djokovic should not be a problem matching Nadal on tiptoe in the biggest moments.
Many thought would fall Djokovic Nadal dominated the clay after the hard-courts, and this did not happen. Nadal is clearly better than a grass court player at this stage of his career, but Djokovic has shown that past results do not determine the impact of future glory.
There is the possibility that Djokovic will suffer a hangover after getting the No. 1 ranking. In contrast, Nadal has always said that winning races is his top priority, and the first place is not so important. Saying that if you have to think of a huge amount of pressure will fall on the shoulders of two players that the game is close.
Nadal is doing his best to an embarrassing loss the fifth consecutive year Djokovic of Serbia, and wants nothing more than to start his reign as No. 1 with the exclamation of victory.
Some have said that Nadal avoided a bullet by not facing Djokovic in French Open final. He looks worried at their last meeting in Rome, but I think the defending champion regained its mojo.
This contest could go down as the best game of the year in which the characteristics of the two dominant forces in the Tour. With two players not expected to play a tournament until the Montreal circuit, I stay with Nadal for the title, simply because he knows the nuances of grass court tennis, better than Djokovic.
Djokovic would be a surprise if I ended up adding his name to the gold trophy? I'm not shocked if Nadal did not work in a burning as of Serbia has never worked before for the work done.
