When he pulled out of Wimbledon last summer with that chronic foot injury, few could have imagined that Rafael Nadal would rock up to SW19 a year later on course for the Calendar Slam. It’s hard to believe even now, so dogged has he been by injuries over recent months, but write off Nadal at your peril.
The 36-year-old hasn’t won Wimbledon since 2010, but considering the year he’s having, you’d be brave to bet against him. First though, he needs to navigate an aggressive, fearless and energetic opponent that he’s never faced before.
Cerundolo is in the midst of a breakthrough campaign that’s seen his ranking soar to No.42 from outside the top 100. In March he became the lowest-ranked player to reach the semis of the Miami Open, beating Reilly Opelka, Gael Monfils and Frances Tiafoe along the way, and playing against this opponent and in this setting could inspire him to even greater heights.
Here’s how to watch a Nadal vs Cerundolo live stream at Wimbledon 2022 from wherever you are in the world.
