David Nalbandian has been the story of the tournament - he's been absolutely fantastic.

His first time at Wimbledon and he gets through to the final!

He played a very good fifth set to get past Xavier Malisse in the semi-finals in which he showed off his powerful groundstrokes and the fact he is a very gutsy player.

But for me his progress to the final shows the lack of depth in the men's singles this year.

It really has been pretty weak - and it was there to be won by anybody.

That's a great advantage for somebody who is running hot, like Nalbandian.

But his run will end against Lleyton Hewitt in the final.

A lot of the talk is that it'll be a one-horse race, but I'm not convinced.

Nalbandian will certainly hit a lot of winners past Hewitt and although I expect the Aussie to win, it could go to four or even five sets.

It's hard to know how Nalbandian will wake up on the morning of the final.

He may be happy to be in the final and that may be enough for him or he may have the burning desire to win.

We just don't know enough about him at the top level to be able to say how he'll react on Centre Court.

If he is to beat Hewitt, we'll see plenty of his fantastic forehand - it really is one of the best I've seen.

He's got a competent serve and his backhand is strong, but his forehand is brilliant.

Malisse was probably the more complete player in their semi-final and he had a great opportunity to get through but he just wasn't there mentally.

He would have done well against Hewitt, but in the end Nalbandian was too tough for him.

Still, I expect Hewitt to beat the Argentine.

No-one has been able to compete with the top seed and it's been disappointing.

It's exciting watching all the seeds drop out and to see whether Tim Henman could take advantage, but Hewitt is a very solid player from day to day and is a great competitor.

He chases everything down and makes his opponents play their best tennis for the full match, which is difficult to do when he's tearing around the court.

If Hewitt does win - as he should - he could go on and repeat his success next year as there is a lack of top players.

But after that there will be more younger players coming through and the tournament will get stronger.

If that happens, someone with a big game is likely to beat Hewitt - the likes of Ivanisevic and Krajicek spring to mind, but there we're talking about people who are getting old.

So for the next couple of years he'll be pretty tough to beat.
