Matteo Berrettini makes Wimbledon choice between Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal

Matteo Berrettini has revealed who he would rather face at Wimbledon between Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic after the Spaniard announced he intended to play the grass-court Grand Slam for the first time in three years. The Italian reached his first Major final at the All England Club last year where he lost to Djokovic but the Spaniard has started the season by winning the Australian Open and French Open.

Berrettini is one of the most in-form grass players heading into Wimbledon, winning the title in Stuttgart last week in his first event post-hand surgery, and he is now through to the semi-finals at Queen's this week, where he is the defending champion. But he has shut down the idea he is the favourite at the All England Club ahead of Djokovic and Nadal, and admitted he preferred his chances against the world No 4 despite his unbeaten run at Majors this year.

"I think those two guys showed us so many times that they can win, and they actually won at tournaments, the Slams even though they weren't in the best shape. Nadal won the Australian Open and Paris after he was injured, so yes I wouldn't consider myself the favourite, but I like to think that I can win it," Berrettini said after beating Tommy Paul 6-4 6-2 at Queen's.

His win came after Nadal announced his plans to play Wimbledon this year, putting the Spaniard in contention for the Calendar Grand Slam. But Berrettini thought that Djokovic was still the bigger threat on the grass despite his only Grand Slam showing this year ending with a quarter-final defeat to the Spaniard.
