The five-time champion also believes Andy Murray is a future grand slam winner. But not yet.

Bjorn Borg is predicting a first Wimbledon triumph for Rafael Nadal and he doesn't even expect Roger Federer to make the final of this year's tournament.

Bjorg watched last year as Federer equalled his record five All England Club titles but after the Spaniard's straight sets rout of the world number one at the French Open he is tipping Nadal for glory.

He said: "To win once is very difficult but what Roger and I achieved is unbelievably difficult. He may be the greatest ever player bit if Nadal survives the first three rounds he is going to be my choice. My second choice will be Djokovic and my third choice is Federer."

Despite the chorus of opinions predicting Federer's decline, the world number one remains favourite on the Betfair Men's Tournament Winner market at [2.6]. Nadal is [3.5] after his victory at the Queen's Club Stella Artois Championship followed by Djokovic [6.6].

Bjorn Borg has also been discussing the prospects of British hopeful Andy Murray.

He said: "I like the way he plays, he is very talented but I don't think he is ready to win Wimbledon."

Murray is currently [60.0] to win Wimbledon which begins on Monday (June 23).
