The men's finals at the last two Wimbledon tournaments could not have been more different. Apart from the big winner - he was always called Novak Djokovic. While the industry leader had no problems against Kevin Anderson in 2018, Djokovic had to fend off two match points against Roger Federer in the fifth set a year later.
As so often in previous years, Djokovic has decided not to take part in a preparatory tournament this season. In single. In doubles, the 19-time major champion with Carlos Gomez Herrera cuts a great figure at the Mallorca Championships. After winning the match tie-break against Marcel Granollers and Horacio Zeballos, two selected pair skating experts, Djokovic and Herrera are already in the semi-finals.

Djokovic high favorite in Wimbledon
But the focus is on the triple at Wimbledon, which would mean setting the all-time record for Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer with 20 Grand Slam titles. Novak Djokovic sees himself prepared for it, as he explained in an interview on Mallorca. His game on grass got better and better. Even if winning one of the four biggest tournaments of the year would still be the same as climbing Mount Everest. An analogy that Djokovic had already tried after his semi-final victory against Nadal at the French Open.
The Spaniard is known to be absent from Wimbledon. Nadal wants to join forces, the next big goal should probably be the US Open. And so Novak Djokovic will travel to Church Road in London as a high favorite. Like many other players, he is in no hurry: This time there is no private living, all players are accommodated in hotels. Under strict conditions.
