Weapons: Changes tactics brilliantly, which helps him keep balls deep and returns aggressive
Weaknesses: Can be beaten down by big servers, game not firing on all cylinders as last year

Rafa comes into Wimbledon as the odds on favourite to win his title. Despite not playing his greatest tennis, he sorted things out in France en route to another Roland Garros title. As the defending champion, and the number 1 ranking in the balance, Rafa will have to navigate through a tricky draw to reach the late stages of this tournament, where he’ll likely end up the favourite to take it once again.
