Marcos Baghdatis has told Tennis365 which player he would like to win the Wimbledon men\u2019s title as he discussed Jannik Sinner and Novak Djokovic\u2019s chances.<\/p>\n
Sinner and Djokovic could meet in the semi-finals at Wimbledon for the second consecutive year if they both win their quarter-final matches on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
World No 1 Sinner<\/a>, who is the reigning champion, is seeking his second title at the All England Club and fifth major overall.<\/p>\n Djokovic<\/a>, who is seeded seventh, is chasing a record-equalling eighth Wimbledon crown and record-extending 25th Grand Slam.<\/p>\n Speaking to Tennis365 at Wimbledon, Baghdatis shared his thoughts on a potential blockbuster showdown between Sinner and Djokovic.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s a tough one. You can never let Djokovic out of the loop, especially on grass,\u201d said the 2006 Australian Open runner-up.<\/p>\n \u201cIt plays a bit lower, a bit faster. So I think that\u2019s the surface he likes. But on the other hand, Sinner showed us many times that he\u2019s unbelievable.<\/p>\n Exclusive: Key grass-court change that could help Wimbledon suggested by Marcos Baghdatis<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Martina Navratilova wants radical change in tennis that would make the game \u2018more difficult\u2019<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Want more from Tennis365?

I think that could have been the final, but they\u2019re on the same side of the draw. We\u2019ll see.\u201d<\/p>\n Baghdatis also identified No 2 seed Alexander Zverev as a serious threat after the German\u2019s French Open victory.<\/p>\n \u201c[Alexander] Zverev, I think now that he won the French Open, the pressure of not winning a Slam went away from him, so I think he can be dangerous too,\u201d said the Cypriot.<\/p>\n The former world No 8\u00a0went on to say he thinks Djokovic \u201cdeserves\u201d to win another major, but added that he is also a big fan of Sinner\u2019s game.<\/p>\n \u201cMy personal opinion, I would like to see Novak win one more time,\u201d divulged Baghdatis.<\/p>\n \u201cI think it would be great for him to win one more. I think he deserves it. He\u2019s pushing every year. He\u2019s still here at the age he is. So I would like to see that.<\/p>\n \u201cBut on the other hand, I love Sinner, I love the way he plays. It will be interesting.<\/p>\n \u201cBoth have had their own problems in matches. Like, Sinner got injured against [Miomir] Kecmanovic, and Novak had a tough one against Yibing Wu.\u201d<\/p>\n Asked if the hot weather could be a factor if Sinner and Djokovic meet, Baghdatis replied: \u201cIt could be a factor.<\/p>\n \u201cOf course, we saw Sinner struggling twice this year in difficult weather conditions \u2014 especially the hot conditions.<\/p>\n \u201cBut I don\u2019t know, I think they\u2019re both prepared. They know what they\u2019re doing, so they\u2019re not thinking about that.\u201d<\/p>\n Baghdatis reached the semi-finals at Wimbledon in 2006, and he was a fan favourite at the historic grass-court event.<\/p>\n The 41-year-old, who retired from tennis after playing Wimbledon in 2019, is competing in the Invitation Doubles at the All England Club.<\/p>\n READ NEXT: Alexander Zverev can \u2018definitely\u2019 win more Grand Slams as \u2018dangerous\u2019 Wimbledon warning sent<\/a> The post Marcos Baghdatis reveals if he wants Jannik Sinner or Novak Djokovic to win Wimbledon<\/a> appeared first on Tennis365<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Marcos Baghdatis has told Tennis365 which player he would like to win the Wimbledon men\u2019s title as he discussed Jannik Sinner and Novak Djokovic\u2019s chances.
