In a column on The Daily Mail, former player and analyst Brad Gilbert wrote about the top favorites for 2019 Wimbledon. The American spoke highly of Novak Djokovic, who comes to the tournament as the defending champion: "Novak Djokovic is the favourite in the men's tournament and can win three slams this year," wrote Gilbert.
Gilbert believes Roger Federer can have a deep run too: "Still playing majestic tennis. If anything he is playing more aggressively off his backhand this year, less afraid to use it down the line. Roger has also become an incredible starter of matches, he goes at guys hard and fast and before they know it, they’re a set down. The backhand continues to fascinate me, it’s the best one-hander in history."
On Rafael Nadal, Gilbert added: "He got so close to beating Djokovic last year which shows he can still play on grass. Nobody makes adjustments better than Rafa, hitting it flatter and powering up his serve. He has a tough draw but if he does not get derailed in the first week he will be lethal in the second."
Gilbert doesn't underestimate the defending finalist Kevin Anderson although he has had a tough year: "The big South African comes in after a rough year when he has had an elbow injury that made him miss the clay court season. That will not make it easy for him but he had some great memories from last year when he showed his durability. A decent mover for his height and has loads of power, plus his returns go deeper than anyone bar Djokovic. A potent first and second serve."
