Granollers, Sonego, Sousa, Verdasco, De Minuar, Zverev, Thiem draw will do it nicely.

It'd be HILARIOUS. Truly, I would certify Nadal as the biggest troll of Tennis if he won Wimbledon this year.
I would love to see the reactions from Federer fans who wanted Nadal to win RG because Novak's apparently a bigger threat
, oh boy the level of salt would make all the salt mines across the world jealous if Nadal came and stole home boy's grass slam

As epic as it would've been when we had this discussion the last two years.
Just enjoy #18.

Last year he was basically one point away of achieving it. This year could be close also.
Federer and Del Potro

It's possible.
Like I said in another thread people like Cilic, Anderson, etc...guys you usually rate highly to cause havoc and upsets in grass draws are MIA.
He was virtually one point away from beating Djokovic and he would have crushed Anderson in the final.
It's a lot more likely than people think.
I rate Djokovic as the pretty comfortable favorite but all it takes is him losing for things to get really interesting in the draw. And I don't think he's that huge a favorite relative to everyone else. Just a solid one.

Other than Fed and Djoker the following can beat Nadal :
Thiem
Khachanov
Struff
Delpo
Tsitsipas
Raonic
Kyrgios
Medvedev
Zverev
Cilic
If he gets a draw with clay court players he can make QF or SF but I think he does not get past that

Nadal is past his best on grass.The only reason he came close to winning it the last year was because he had an favorable draw until the semis.I will put his chances at this year Wimbledon at 10 -15 percent.

As long as we don't have the 'roof scenario' we did at a pivotal point last year.

Wimbledon next month has a lot of history and stakes on the line for Rafa if he can pull it off:
Win slam #19 (bringing him to within one of Fedr)
Become the only player to win 3+ majors on three different surfaces
Have longest gap of Wimby titles (9 years)
Complete his third Channel Slam (ties all time record with the great Borg)
Have his 5th career 2+ slam season (solo 2nd behind Rog)
Win again on Federer's "turf" late in his career (this is more of a brownie points one tho)
He'd also be the only player to win the French, Wimbledon and US Open 3 or more times
Obviously, a lot has to go right for Rafa to win again on grass (especially early on against floaters), but if he does, it has the potential to alter ATP history.

Well considering that Rafa is the only one of the big 3 to do it twice, three would be awesome!

Will have to settle for a Fed Slam from Wim 2019 → RG 2020

Yes. It’s literally made every year.
There was one bumped from 2017 by a Nadal fan yesterday. Might still be on the front page.

It is indeed the big fear.
The tennis gods would indeed have seriously ****ed up if they allow that to happen.

Agassi was almost active when that happened and he's 73 now.
