Wimbledon 2009: Andy Murray and Roger Federer will be hard to beat this year at Wimbledon according to Bjorn Borg

The Spanish world number one suffered a shock fourth-round defeat to Robin Soderling at the French Open as he missed the chance for a fifth consecutive triumph on the clay of Roland Garros, and has since been troubled by knee problems.

Nevertheless, Borg - the last man before Nadal to win both the French Open and Wimbledon in the same season - feels the Spaniard will be a spent force at SW19. "Nadal is always a dangerous player because he is the best in the world - but what happened in Paris and then the injury, I am picking Murray or Federer,"

"I am sure he was very, very disappointed when he went home after Paris. That defeat took him many, many days to get over.

"Nadal is saying he has got an injury, but he has to be fit at Wimbledon if he wants to go all the way, and I do not think he will go all the way this year."
"I do not think he was ready to win Wimbledon last year, but it is a different story now. He is ready to win it this year.

"He has no weaknesses, he can play on all kinds of surfaces and I was very impressed what he did on the clay court surface. He was hitting the ball extremely well.

"Andy Murray seems to find himself on the court and knows how to behave, focus and play his game.

"He has matured a lot as a person over the last year and as a tennis player. "If you compare him now to a few years ago he is a completely different player on the court. "He is ready to win a Grand Slam tournament and is one of my favourites to win Wimbledon."Andy is physically and mentally strong, but there is going to be huge pressure - however, he can handle it if he focuses on the things he can do."

Borg added: "If not Wimbledon, he can win the US Open, but if he does not win Wimbledon this year, then he has a good chance in the years to come.

"One day, eventually, Andy Murray will win Wimbledon."
