Former ATP pro Greg Rusedski has dismissed comparisons between Novak Djokovic and Serena Williams as both prepare for Wimbledon. Rusedski named Djokovic his second pick for the title while highlighting the differences in their recent activity.
Rusedski made the comments on his podcast Off Court With Greg Rusedski. He said he could not equate the two because Djokovic remains a full-time professional who has competed throughout the year.
The 39-year-old Serb holds a 102-13 record at Wimbledon and has reached the final 10 times. Rusedski noted that Carlos Alcaraz will miss the tournament due to a wrist injury, calling it Djokovic's best chance yet at a record 25th Grand Slam title.
Rusedski also expressed doubts about Serena Williams's readiness. The 44-year-old has not played a singles match since returning earlier this month and has no warm-up event scheduled.
Jannik Sinner remains the favorite, though Djokovic defeated him at the Australian Open this year.
