Predicted men’s final: Novak Djokovic v Rafael Nadal
There can’t be three Grand Slams in a row that don’t feature Novak in the final and after what Nadal has achieved this year, you can’t back against him.

Men’s dark horse: Tommy Paul
After a slow start at Eastbourne he ended up playing some brilliant tennis. His coach Brad Stine believes grass will be Tommy’s best surface.

Predicted ladies’ final: Iga Swiatek v Ons Jabeur
It’s impossible to not pick someone who’s won 35 matches in a row! I really think Ons believes she’s ready to win a Grand Slam and she loves the grass.

Ladies’ dark horse: Beatriz Haddad Maia
Nobody in the draw has won more matches on grass this year.

Predicted men’s final: Novak Djokovic v Rafael Nadal

Men’s dark horse: Oscar Otte
The German has been in great form over the summer with back-to-back grass court semi-finals and his serve and volley game is not what many players are used to seeing. 

Predicted ladies’ final: Petra Kvitova v Ons Jabeur

Ladies’ dark horse: Alison Van Uytvanck
Great form on grass coming in, and has a game generally made of flat hitting, tailor-made for a lower-bouncing surface.

Predicted men’s final: Novak Djokovic v Matteo Berrettini

Men’s dark horse: Roberto Bautista Agut

Predicted ladies' final: Petra Kvitova v Ons Jabeur 

Ladies’ dark horse: Beatriz Haddad Maia

Predicted men’s final: Novak Djokovic v Matteo Berrettini

Men’s dark horse: Maxime Cressy

Predicted ladies’ final: Iga Swiatek v Jelena Ostapenko

Ladies’ dark horse: Katie Boulter

Predicted men’s final: Novak Djokovic v Matteo Berrettini

Men’s dark horse: Maxime Cressy
Natural on the grass. Good old-fashioned serve-and-volley. The majority of players will never have played against that style.

Predicted ladies’ final: Petra Kvitova v Ons Jabeur

Ladies’ dark horse: Beatriz Haddad Maia
So impressed with her ball-striking on the grass. One of the best serves out there at 6ft. Super confident with a ridiculous amount of matches won the last two years.

Predicted men’s final: Novak Djokovic v Matteo Berrettini
Djokovic has some catching up to do in terms of the Grand Slam count. After a tumultuous start of the year Down Under, the Serb has steadily been winning matches and the fire and passion is back in his game. He’s won 25 of his last 26 matches at Wimbledon with his last defeat coming via retirement against Tomas Berdych in 2017.

Men’s dark horse: Nick Kyrgios
On any given day Kyrgios can beat anyone if he’s healthy and puts his mind to it. If his Mallorca injury (abdominals) is a thing of the past then Kyrgios is definitely one to watch.

Predicted ladies’ final: Iga Swiatek v Maria Sakkari
Not only has Swiatek won 35 consecutive matches, she’s only lost six sets in that period.

Ladies’ dark horse: Coco Gauff
Her star has been steadily rising this year with singles and doubles finals appearances earlier this month at Roland-Garros. She’s reached the fourth round in both of her previous appearances at Wimbledon and is poised to take it a few rounds further this year.

Predicted men’s final: Hubert Hurkacz v Matteo Berrettini

Men’s dark horse: Tim van Rijthoven and Nick Kyrgios

Predicted ladies’ final: Iga Swiatek v Jelena Ostapenko

Ladies’ dark horse: Petra Kvitova and Elena Rybakina

Predicted men’s final: Novak Djokovic v Matteo Berrettini
Bizarrely, I have a feeling Djokovic won't win this year, but it’s tough to know, once he gets up and running, who will stop him on grass.

Men’s dark horses: Andy Murray and Nick Kygrios
Murray was playing great pre-injury and is one of very few players to have won Wimbledon and knows how to operate on grass. His draw is also decent. Kygrios is more focused and fit this year. He has also said himself he is top 10 in the world on grass, and I agree with him.

Predicted ladies’ final: Belinda Bencic v Coco Gauff
I feel Swiatek's run has to come to an end at some point. Bencic gives me similar vibes to when Angelique Kerber won in 2018 - in decent form and will have belief after her Olympic gold.

Ladies’ dark horse: Karolina Muchova
If she can get past Simona Halep in the first round, she has a great chance of going very deep.

Predicted men’s final: Hubert Hurkacz v Matteo Berrettini

Men’s dark horse: Nick Kyrgios

Predicted ladies’ final: Iga Swiatek v Ons Jabeur

Ladies’ dark horse: Beatriz Haddad Maia

Predicted men’s final: Novak Djokovic v Matteo Berrettini
A favourable first-week draw should allow the six-time champion to build momentum while Berrettini will look to carry on his trajectory – currently unbeaten in nine matches on grass.

Men’s dark horse: Nick Kyrgios
If looking beyond the seeds it’s tough to cast an eye beyond Nick to shake up the draw. The Aussie arrives with wins on the board, following consecutive semi-finals on his favourite surface.

Predicted ladies' final: Iga Swiatek v Ons Jabeur
While Iga hasn’t played a lead-up event, a reasonable draw should see her reach the second week, where some earlier seeded departures could play into her hands. Jabeur is hungry after her surprise first-round exit in Paris and with a title in Berlin under her belt and doubles matches with Serena Williams she should be primed, provided a knee niggle doesn’t flare up. 

Ladies’ dark horse: Bianca Andreescu
The Canadian’s credentials certainly belie her current world ranking of No.56 and after a mental health break and indifferent form, the 22-year-old has looked more like her old self of late. The 2019 US Open champion has hit form on grass, reaching the final in Bad Homburg, her first Tour final since Miami last year.

Predicted men’s final: Novak Djokovic v Marin Cilic

Men’s dark horse: Denis Kudla
The American’s game is a good fit for grass and looked sharp against Matteo Berrettini at Queen’s, at one stage up a set and with two break points at 3-3 in the second. Keep an eye on him.

Predicted ladies' final: Petra Kvitova v  Ons Jabeur

Ladies’ dark horse: Alison Riske
Like Kudla, one who is comfortable on the turf and who I always look for once the draw is made. Reached the final in Nottingham, she’s a former Wimbledon quarter-finalist and capable of making the second week for the second time in her career.

Predicted men’s final: Novak Djokovic v Matteo Berrettini
Berrettini is ready to go one better this year. Centre Court will swoon on its centenary.

Men’s dark horse: Taylor Fritz
Has a big game, hasn't had much chance to use it on grass over the last three years.

Predicted ladies’ final: Iga Swiatek v Jelena Ostapenko

Ladies’ dark horse: Jelena Ostapenko
Swiatek is the most likely winner but Ostapenko also has self-belief, huge power and the experience of winning a Grand Slam title.

Predicted men’s final: Novak Djokovic v Matteo Berrettini
A repeat of the 2021 final isn't exactly a brave shout, but Djokovic must be fiercely determined to reel in Nadal on 22 Grand Slams, whilst the hammer shots of Berrettini have already yielded the Stuttgart and Queen's trophies this grass court campaign.

Men’s dark horse: Nick Kyrgios
The mercurial Australian has every shot at his disposal. The unseeded 27-year-old has plenty of history at SW19 and a semi-final in Halle proved he is poised to put on another show.

Predicted ladies' final: Iga Swiatek v Ons Jabeur
This choice is mainly from what I want to happen - two supreme human highlight reels. It would surely be a classic final.

Ladies’ dark horse: Bianca Andreescu
The 2019 US Open champion has shrugged off injuries and has been incrementally rebuilding her confidence. The Canadian is such a force with momentum and will be boosted by her run this week on grass in Bad Homburg.

Predicted men’s final: Hubert Hurkacz v Matteo Berrettini
Why not?! These are the two most in-form players on grass, and both players are primed for a major breakthrough. I like Berrettini’s chances this Fortnight to hoist the trophy.

Men’s dark horse: Maxime Cressy
A serve and volleyer in 2022? Yes please! Will take out Felix Auger-Aliassime in the first round and could march all the way to the quarter-finals.

Predicted ladies' final: Iga Swiatek v Ons Jabeur
We dreamed of this final in Paris so let’s just let said dream take the Eurostar up to London for The Championships.

Ladies’ dark horse: Beatriz Haddad Maia
Can No.23 seed Haddad Maia be a dark horse? The Brazilian has won 13 matches in a row and two titles on grass in the past three weeks. I can see her going as far as the quarters… or semis.

Predicted men’s final: Novak Djokovic v Matteo Berrettini
The defending champion is the man to beat on grass, while Berrettini has returned from injury in superb form and looked sharp when practising this week.

Men’s dark horse: Hubert Hurkacz
He is not really an outsider given his superb run last year, his effort at Halle and his Miami Open triumphs, but he looks to have the best chance outside the main hopefuls.

Predicted ladies' final: Iga Swiatek v Ons Jabeur
The Roland-Garros champion has been a level above her rivals since Ash Barty's retirement and deserves to be favourite, while Jabeur has been consistent, aside from a defeat in Paris, and showed great signs when claiming Berlin.

Ladies’ dark horse: Angelique Kerber
A former champion, the three-time Slam champion was brilliant at Wimbledon last year, with Ash Barty recently saying she needed to play her best ever match in the semi-final to defeat the German. Her form recently has been sound and she might have a big run in her.

Predicted men’s final: Novak Djokovic v Matteo Berrettini
He may not have had much grass preparation this season but this is not unusual for Djokovic heading into Wimbledon.

Men’s dark horse: Oscar Otte
Otte is playing the best tennis of his career. The German had good weeks in Stuttgart and Halle leading in.

Predicted ladies' final: Iga Swiatek v Ons Jabeur
Swiatek just might have the chance to work herself into grass form while Jabeur goes into Wimbledon as one of the favourites. The latter now has experience in those situations, having gone through it at Roland-Garros.

Ladies’ dark horse: Karolina Muchova
Persistent injuries are the reason the Czech is unseeded. She has a game suitable for grass, too, already achieving success at SW19.

Predicted men’s final: Carlos Alcaraz v Rafael Nadal

Men’s dark horse: Alexander Bublik

Predicted ladies’ final: Petra Kvitova v Maria Sakkari

Ladies’ dark horse: Bianca Andreescu

Predicted men’s final: Hubert Hurkacz v Matteo Berrettini
I appreciate Novak Djokovic is a hot favourite but I sense a Polish double.

Men’s dark horse: Maxime Cressy
I love his serve and volley game.

Predicted ladies’ final: Iga Swiatek v Jelena Ostapenko 

Ladies’ dark horse: Alison Riske
Has done well here before, is definitely worth keeping an eye on and she’s in the bottom half of the draw.

Predicted men’s final: Novak Djokovic v Matteo Berrettini
Djokovic will be extra motivated after the Australian Open controversy and disappointment at Roland-Garros. Berrettini is looking - if anything - better than last year now he’s fit, and comes in off two straight titles on grass.

Men’s dark horse: Marin Cilic
Has enjoyed a recent revival and is a former finalist.

Predicted ladies’ final: Petra Kvitova v Ons Jabeur
Petra has the pedigree having won it twice, and has just won Eastbourne so is in good form. Jabeur - assuming she’s fit - is another who’s  been in great form.

Ladies’ dark horse: Jelena Ostapenko
A proven Grand Slam winner, devastating when on form, and has proven her grass court prowess with a run to the Eastbourne final. 

Predicted men’s final: Novak Djokovic v Matteo Berrettini
How can you pick against six-time Wimbledon champion Djokovic? He hasn’t lost a match at SW19 since 2017. And with titles in Stuttgart and Queen’s, Berrettini has again established some stunning momentum on grass.

Men’s dark horse: Nick Kyrgios.
Outside the seedings but never far from the conversation, a confident Nick Kyrgios has won seven of his past nine matches on his preferred grass courts.

Predicted ladies’ final: Iga Swiatek v Ons Jabeur
Iga is poised to add another chapter to her remarkable 2022 season while Ons can build on the history she created as a Wimbledon quarter-finalist last year.

Ladies’ dark horse: Yanina Wickmayer
'Beware the qualifier’ is a common tennis mantra and after a flawless run in Qualifying, the Belgian brings both momentum and experience into a 13th Wimbledon campaign.

Predicted men’s final: Hubert Hurkacz v Matteo Berrettini
Everyone spotted Alcaraz in Djokovic’s quarter of the draw, but Hurkacz stands ready to exploit any vulnerability in the semis. The man who humbled Roger Federer in last year’s quarter-finals squashed world No.1 Daniil Medvedev in straight sets to win Halle just days ago. Berrettini's form on grass this month has been so unruffled that onlookers are thinking they might have imagined that right hand surgery kept him out for the previous three months, but it did. Will Berrettini prevail here, as he did when these two met in the semi-finals last year?

Men’s dark horse: Maxime Cressy
The big-serving American will break the top 50 for the first time on Monday as a result of recent form, including making the final in Eastbourne where he ran Taylor Fritz close. Cressy faces last year’s quarter-finalist Felix Auger-Aliassime here in the first round, and will carry with him the confidence of recent comfortable straight set wins over Reilly Opelka, Dan Evans and Cameron Norrie.

Predicted ladies’ final: Swiatek v Jabeur
Really sticking my neck out here, I know, given that they’re No.1 and No.2 in the world as of Monday. But with Jabeur seeded No.3, the draw kept them in separate halves, and it’s the match so many people would love to see. A year ago they met in the last 16, when Swiatek was ranked 9 and Jabeur 24 – Swiatek edged the first set, only to be steamrollered thereafter. So much has changed since then. Can Swiatek adapt her winning ways to grass?

Ladies’ dark horse: Beatriz Haddad Maia
It required two-time Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova to snap BHM’s 13-strong grass court winning streak in the semi-finals at Eastbourne, by which time the Brazilian lefty had nabbed unexpected titles in Birmingham and Nottingham and secured a seeding slot at Wimbledon. Since September 2020 she has appeared in 14 finals at all levels, winning 12 of them. Ranked 88 in January, her star is rising.

Predicted men’s final: Novak Djokovic v Rafael Nadal

Men’s dark horse: Nick Kyrgios

Predicted ladies’ final: Coco Gauff v Ons Jabeur

Ladies’ dark horse: Petra Kvitova

Predicted men’s final: Novak Djokovic v Matteo Berrettini

Men’s dark horse: Francis Tiafoe
Maybe he can come through the second quarter of the draw with Casper Ruud in that section as No.3 seed. He played well last year and can get inspired.

Predicted ladies’ final: Iga Swiatek v Ons Jabeur

Ladies’ dark horse: Petra Kvitova
If Swiatek doesn’t win the title it will be because of a big hitter who plays perfect tennis and Kvitova is confident after her win in Eastbourne.

Predicted men's final: Novak Djokovic v Matteo Berrettini
Djokovic has won the last three titles here and is chomping at the bit to regain his Grand Slam-scooping form after his frustrations at the Australian Open and Roland-Garros. Matteo Berrettini last year’s finalist and Queen’s champion has bounced back from injury.

Men's dark horse: Andy Murray
Picking him with my heart, but my head notes recent strong form and Ivan Lendl back in his box...

Predicted ladies' final: Iga Swiatek v Ons Jabeur
A re-run of this year’s Italian Open final (which the Pole won) and the fourth round in SW19 last year (which Jabeur won)... intriguing.

Ladies' dark horse: Angelique Kerber
Underrated at 34, and an under-the-radar performer who raises her game on grass.
