Although Nadal is the 1st racket of the tournament, he got probably the strongest tennis player in the first round and will have a lot of problems with him. Nadal is no longer the same and except for matches on clay, he already plays hard and collects victories. Nadal already lost to De Minaur and Norrie this season in the United Cup, last year in the US Open only against Gasquet, who the same veteran won with a minus, in the Wimbledon tournament the Spaniard had problems even with Berankis and although he defends the title here, but against the young and very well-playing Draper it will be very difficult for the Spaniard. Yes, I believe that Nadal will win, but certainly not without a fight, and the Briton has to kick his ass here, especially as he already had time to warm up his legs in Australia in two tournaments where he looked good. Nadal's poor serve has to be countered by the very hard hitting Draper, and Nadal himself has yet to come into his own and has lost a set in the first two of his last 2 Grand Slams, so I'm hoping for at least the same here as Draper looks good
