Open race for Wimbledon

This year’s men’s singles at Wimbledon promises to be the most open for a decade, according to Spanish veteran Feliciano Lopez, who is quietly fancying his own chances of a deep run.

“Considering the results of the best players in the world, it is true that it is probably the most open Wimbledon in the last 10 years, I will say,” Lopez said, referencing the struggles of Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic. “Roger (Federer) is playing great. He’s not playing much, but when he’s playing, he’s winning. Novak and Andy, it’s true that they are not playing their best, I will say, and Rafa (Nadal), he hasn’t played on grass for a long time. So it’s probably a little bit more open.”
