Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer collaborated on the greatest match ever played at Wimbledon.

The world's top two launch The Championships as the strong favorites in the eyes of their peers.

McEnroe: Kyrgios Can Win Wimbledon If...

Defending Wimbledon champion Federer and reigning Roland Garros champion Nadal have combined to claim six straight Grand Slam titles.

Several players see that streak continuing at SW19.

Here are some of the players' picks for Wimbledon favorites.

Novak Djokovic:  "Nadal and Roger. I mean, Roger is a clear favorite, without a doubt. Nadal maybe hasn't played that well in Wimbledon last couple of years up to his standards, but he's won it several times, played finals several times. He's definitely rightly one of the candidates to win the title."

Kei Nishikori: "Yeah, think Roger and Rafa, those two is a little different level this year. That's for sure. But, you know, Cilic is playing good. He can be really tough opponent on grass. He did well last year, too. I mean, Dimi is also good player. I'm sure it's going to be tough tournament because, you know, Stan is not seeded, and Djokovic is not top 10 seeded, I guess, so... Yeah, I'm sure it's going to be interesting tournament."

Rafael Nadal: "Expectations are always high. I am not here to play the tournament; I am here to try to have a good results, of course. But is true that in the other hand is one of these events that you arrive here and you really don't have the previous feeling of how you feel, how you are playing, how you are not playing."

Marin Cilic: "I don't know [if I'm a favorite]. I'm not looking at it like that. I'm not obsessed by it. I feel that I'm playing great. That's what I need to do, you know, have a few days of rest and practice and just do things well on my own part of the court. You know, even if you're playing maybe great tennis, you can come up playing against somebody who's got amazing day and lose still. Just focusing on myself, keeping going on my own things and I feel that my game is clicking really nicely and hopefully I can deliver great tennis."

John McEnroe: "There's a handful of guys [other than Federer and Nadal who can win]. If you had to pick one guy that would position himself, it would probably be Cilic would be the guy that would be best positioned at this point, given what's gone on over the course of the last six months, since he got to the finals of Australia, and he just won Queen's. I think he's positioned himself well. He believes in himself. If you had to pick one other guy besides those two, he might break the streak.

"Obviously Novak looks to be heading, we're all happy, in the right direction. Whether or not he's ready to go all the way... You have to still consider him with his pedigree and results as a guy.

"Then it becomes much more of a crapshoot. Is Zverev ready to make that next step. Is Coric for real on grass, because he just came off winning his first-ever grass court event when he had barely won any matches. After that it becomes even more unpredictable. A big hitter like Anderson, Sam Querrey, Isner, the big guys can cause problems in the draw that would open things up. Milos obviously to me is a guy who can do damage. He's been battling a lot of health issues, so I don't know where he's at."
