Rafael Nadal has had a fairytale season this year. He won the Australian Open to begin the 2022 season, earning his 21st Grand Slam, and he hasn’t looked back since. He then proceeded to triumph in the Mexican Open, which was followed by decent showings at Indian Wells and Rome, where he advanced to the final and third round, respectively. Following that, he won his 22nd Grand Slam in the French Open while still competing in spite of his foot ailments. Even though his injuries seem Concerning, still, Rafael Nadal will start his Wimbledon campaign as one of the favourites to win the title.

Francisco Cerundolo, on the other hand, hasn’t had a fantastic year thus far aside from making it to the Miami Open semifinals, where he ultimately lost. Even at the French Open, where he once again lost in the first round, the Argentinean was unable to demonstrate his prowess. However, after making it to the quarterfinals at Queen’s, 23-year-old Francisco Cerundolo set a new career-high ATP world ranking of 42nd this week. He will be making his debut at the Wimbledon this year and still has the chance to showcase his talent and win his first Grand slam match in the process.

Since this will be their first encounter, the head-to-head record stands at 0-0.

Francisco Cerundolo

Rafael Nadal will enter the contest being the overwhelming favourite. The clear favourite going into the competition is Rafael Nadal. Nadal’s two Wimbledon championships came in 2008 and 2010, and he hasn’t advanced past the semifinals since 2011. However, he appears to be on a winning streak this season and is headed for his calendar slam. Therefore, the Spaniard, who has a big forehand, will not want to jeopardise his opportunity, and a third Wimbledon title for him seems likely.

Francisco Cerundolo, in contrast, has never even claimed a victory in a Grand Slam match. Although the Argentine possesses a respectable serve and forehand, they will not be much beneficial against the Spaniard, who is significantly favoured for victory in this match.

Prediction: Rafael Nadal to win in straight sets.
