seen a lot of Auger-Aliassime in the last year, he lost today v Rublev in the Marseille Final but he is more than good enough to win a slam, if I had to have an outside punt on Wimbledon now, it'd be Felix currently at 20's, looks as adept on grass as anyone I've seen recently. Wimbledon and not RG because he looks average on clay, his on court demeanour is also Sampras like. The other Canadian with the backwards baseball cap and flowing blond hair, who still thinks it's 1990, Shap, he is a very good grass court player as well, more naturally talented then Felix, but much less stable mentally, he's at 15's currently.
Either of these two more than capable of going on the winning run, but I'd plump for Felix the cat as the most likely. Yes it'd probably be a Novak train, but trains sometimes derail.
Shapo went way down in my estimation with his rant about Nadal.
Maybe he should spend a few more seconds between points & he'll also end up with 21 slams.
That rant was almost blasphemous.
Rafa is a legend of the sport ffs!

Shap had a point but it highlighted the differences in mentality, Nadal and Federer have always been intelligent enough to never waste mental energy arguing the t0ss with umpires for too long or allowing themselves to be tilted for more than a point, mental energy equally as important as physical energy, the mug Kyrgios burns himself out the quickest with his theatrics. During that match however it was also noticeable how much Bernardes was pandering to Rafa by being tough with Denis, not doing anything about Nadal's time wasting and asking Shap what he was looking at, this is no doubt because Carlos wants to umpire the big matches, the finals which usually involve Rafa, he was basically barred by him from umpiring his matches a few years ago, think it after the Fognini match in Rio.
