The finals of the men's singles Wimbledon 2011 will be played between Spaniard ace Rafael Nadal and Serbian Djokovic. It could be anyone's game as both these players are in terrific form this Wimbledon season.

COME SUNDAY, the world would be witnessing Wimbledon final where top seed Nadal would be competing against the second seed Djokovic. Rafael Nadal defeated Andy Murray in the semi-finals of the competition 5-7, 6-2, 6-2, and 6-4. Djokovic won his match against Jo-Wilfried Tsonga 7-6 (4), 6-2, 6-7 (9), and 6-3 to reach the finals.

The media around the world were anticipating Federer clash with Nadal in the Wimbledon finals 2011. But they were all disappointed as Roger failed to reach the finals of the competition. Still, the match between the Nadal and Djokovic should go down to the wire if both these players come up with their ‘A class’ game in the final day of the competition.

Both these players prefer to play from the base line as their forte lies on their ground strokes. Nadal has a strong forehand which is even more potent when he plays with a certain whip across the court. Nadal looks to be more strong if one engages the opponent in longer rallies as he drains out the opponent and scores vital points.

When it comes to ‘return of service’ game, Djokovic is way ahead in the circuit as he is considered to be the best in the business. Along with it, he possesses the best backhand in the ATP circuit, which takes the opponent by surprise as it travels in ferocious speed with precision. So, Nadal has to be alert when he serves against the big Serbian player. Djokovic is someone who does not like to come up to the net and play volleys across the net, but Nadal does not either play close to the net. But, Nadal has some good drop shots up his sleeve, which Djokovic has to be careful about.

Nadal has been using his top spin ground strokes to good effect in the tournament, which might be difficult for Djokovic to handle. Nadal is known for his speed and agility in the court. He hardly seems to get tired and even if he does he has that passion for the game which keeps him driving, on his toes.

The match is going to be a treat for the crowd gathered to watch the final as they would be able to watch two players who are in their prime playing high level of quality tennis, which everyone loves to watch.
