| VERDICT |
 |
| The world number one is out to make it a hat-trick of titles here this year, and given the fact he is by far and away the best player in the world on grass, you simply cannot back against him. Following his recent victory in Halle, he has now won his last 29 matches on the surface. Will be smarting after successive semi-final defeats at the first two Grand Slams of the season, but he remains the man to beat at SW19. |
