Rafael Nadal celebrates after victory in last year's edition

"The Spaniard has won 14 in a row in five set matches, 20 in a row at Wimbledon, 13 in a row at Grand Slam level and five in a row against top 10 players."

Ben Caudell is siding with Rafael Nadal to make the most of all his Grand Slam experience and get the better of Novak Djokovic today but which is the best market to back him in?
