Bjorn Borg has tipped Rafael Nadal to end Roger Federer's reign as Wimbledon champion this year.
Nadal thrashed world number one Federer to lift his fourth successive French Open title yesterday and has been runner-up to the Swiss at SW19 for the last two years.
Hot tip: Spain's Rafael Nadal whispers a word in Bjorn Borg's ear after winning the French Open title
Federer equalled Borg's record of five straight Wimbledon titles with an epic five-set victory over Nadal last summer.
But Borg believes Nadal will deny him the outright record.
"If he (Nadal) survives the first couple of rounds this year, I pick him to win Wimbledon," the Swede said.
"The way he played last year (at Wimbledon), it was an unbelievable final. He was very unfortunate not to win that particular match. He had chances.
"And I'm sure after losing a match like that he wants to come back and try to win that championship.".
