As players gear up for the Grass Court Grand Slam, the buzz is palpable, and the speculation rampant.Best porn XXX. Former players and pundits alike are weighing in on who they believe will take home the coveted Wimbledon title. Among them, Greg Rusedski, the former British No. 1, has thrown his hat into the ring. The former tennis player appeared on the latest episode of the Tennis Channel Inside In Podcast and delved into the probabilities at Wimbledon. For Rusdeski, the new World No.1 Jannik Sinner is the most favorite contender for the title. “So for me, if he can get fit and get the right preparation for Wimbledon, I think that’s what he’s thinking. Okay, let’s get this hip right,” Rusedski shared.  Jannik Sinner had suffered a hip injury and pulled out from the middle of the Madrid Open ahead of the quarterfinals. While he was unlikely to participate in the French Open, the Italian sensation changed his mind to make a comeback. He, however, faced similar problems and was seen in pain even in the semi-final match against Carlos Alcaraz, which he eventually lost.  ADVERTISEMENT Article continues below this ad Speaking ahead in the conversation, Rusdeski claimed that the final can likely take place between French Open winner Carlos Alcaraz and Sinner. The former British No. 1 also thinks that these two players have the potential to take forward the legacy of Novak Djokovic. “It’s my time now to go deep at Wimbledon because he’s pushed Djokovic on many occasions. I think if you look at it, it’s probably going to be Alcaraz versus Sinner if both guys are healthy going into Wimbledon. That’s got to be the finals. And it’s kind of like a little bit of a passing of the guard.” Rusdeski’s mention of Djokovic highlights the track record of Sinner against the legend.  Very sad to have to withdraw from my next match here in Madrid. My hip has been bothering me this week and has slowly been getting more painful. Taking the advice from the doctors we decided it’s best to not play further and make it worse. pic.twitter.com/QJX9WVA4Np — Jannik Sinner (@janniksin) May 1, 2024 Expand Tweet Sinner and Nole have faced each other 7 times with Djokovic leading the head-to-head 4-3. However, their 2022 Wimbledon quarterfinal encounter remains a memorable one, possibly for both of them. The Italian, who was on the cusp of defeating the former World No.1 faced continuous setbacks between the third and the 5th sets. He ultimately faced a defeat, 7-5,6-2, 3-6,2-6,2-6 despite giving a tough time to Nole. This, however, is not the first time when Greg praised Sinner.

Just keeps on improving. After Novak calls it a day he looks like he will be the next dominant force in Men’s tennis. So mentally and physically strong.” Meanwhile, the Italian is not just gearing up for Wimbledon but Paris again too.
