Novak Djokovic has to bounce back in Wimbledon, after his finale lost at Roland Garros, but he will have to count with Roger Federer’s threatening presence, always green on his lawn, or that of resuscitated Andy Murray, the Scottish pet.

On the road of a 3rd coronation in London, after those of 2011 and 2014, and a 2nd title of Grand slam this year, and after Australia and Serb, this world leader, should normally arrive in full confidence.

It will be necessary to negotiate at first a departure against Philip Kohlschreiber, then Lleyton Hewitt who will not give him any break thus still trying to digest his 3rd defeat of the year.

Since then, he remained discreet. But the drawing could offer him a possibility of a revenge in the semi-final against Stan Wawrinka, 4th worldwide and his Parisian executioner.

At 30 years old, he can hope to be the 5th man to make it on both clay and grass and although
surprising during his two titles in Grand slam, in Australia and Auteuil nonetheless the grass is not his surface of choice and he never went beyond the quarter finals.

With Roger Federer, Andy Murray and Rafael Nadal in the same predicament, the low point of this 129th tournament in Wimbledon seems much denser.

Almost 34 years old, Federer can become the oldest winner of the tournament, if he improves the record of seven victories which he shares since 2012 with Pete Sampras.

“I am very satisfied with my current level. I move well, it is natural on lawn. It is the strength which I have to use, because this sport became a movement game”, admitted the Helvetian.
