Tennis: Djokovic, Nadal lead title chase at Wimbledon 2022 

Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal headline the title chase at Wimbledon where eight-time champion Roger Federer, the world’s top two players and cherished ranking points will all be missing.

Djokovic is bidding for a seventh title at the All England Club to move level with US great Pete Sampras.

Nadal, fresh from a 14th French Open victory and a record-extending 22nd major, is halfway to the first men’s calendar Grand Slam in more than half a century.

The season’s third Slam tournament has already made political waves even before the first ball is served on Monday.

The decision to ban Russian and Belarusian players in the aftermath of the invasion of Ukraine means there is no place for world No 1 Daniil Medvedev or eighth-ranked Andrey Rublev.

Both the ATP and WTA, who control the men’s and women’s tours, retaliated by stripping ranking points from the tournament.

For the first time since his debut in 1999 – notwithstanding the Covid-cancelled 2020 edition – Federer will be a no-show as the 40-year-old recovers from knee surgery.

Also missing is world No 2 Alexander Zverev, who suffered serious ankle ligament damage in an horrific injury in his French Open semifinal against Nadal.

However, Medvedev and Zverev have never shone at Wimbledon with neither man making it past the fourth round.

Djokovic and Nadal, ranked three and four, are the top seeds meaning if they are to face each other for the 60th time, it can only be in the final.

Djokovic, the champion in 2011, 2014, 2015, 2018, 2019 and 2021, could be playing in his final Slam of the year as his refusal to be vaccinated is likely to rule him out of the US Open later this year 

A bruising quarterfinal loss to Nadal at the French Open which saw him deposed as champion in Paris will also likely provide extra motivation.

Nadal won the last of his two Wimbledon titles in 2010 having captured his first with an epic triumph over Federer in 2008. 

The 36-year-old Spaniard arrives at Wimbledon with the Australian and French Opens secured and he is also halfway to becoming only the third man – and first since Rod Laver in 1969 – to complete a calendar Grand Slam.

Nadal has endured a bittersweet relationship with Wimbledon with his two titles been accompanied by three lost finals as well as injury-enforced absences in 2004, 2009, 2016 and 2021.

There remains a question mark over his durability for the two weeks at Wimbledon having played the entire French Open with his troublesome left foot anaesthetised.

Nadal has since undergone a course of radiofrequency stimulation, a treatment aimed at reducing nerve pain in his foot.
