"He's definitely the favourite in my eyes": Robson lauds confident Djokovic as out and out Wimbledon favourite

Laura
Robson spoke about Novak Djokovic's chances at Wimbledon.
The Serbian
player enters the tournament as the second seed, aiming to add another Grand
Slam title to his collection and further distance himself from Rafael Nadal in
the race for the GOAT title. Djokovic has won the last four editions of the
tournament, and Robson considers him the favorite to lift the trophy once
again.
“He's
definitely the favourite in my eyes, especially after Paris,” said Robson.
“The amount
of confidence that he has at the moment and then to come here to a tournament
that he's won an incredible amount of times and just seems so at ease on this
surface, so comfortable on Centre Court, that it's hard to bet against him,”
she added.
“The way he
moves on this surface is unlike anyone else because he's able to take a few
things that he uses on the different surfaces, like the sliding that he would
do on the clay and the hard courts. And he still manages to stay so balanced,
which is always the difficult thing on grass, to still find enough in the legs
to get underneath every ball, make sure that it's not coming onto you so
quickly. But he just doesn't even seem to think about it.
Robson explained
that for 'Nole', it is more challenging to adapt
to clay courts than to grass courts.
“A couple
of weeks ago I remember speaking to him and he was saying that clay is the
surface that he finds toughest to adjust to, where it takes him a few weeks to
feel like he's stable. And it just doesn't seem like he has that at all on the
grass.
“So, yeah,
it's an easy transition for him at this point in his career.”
Djokovic
hasn't played a tournament since winning the French Open, so he will arrive at
Wimbledon without having competed on grass. World No. 2 will aim to increase
his record of 23 Grand Slam titles and further distance himself from his
closest rival, Rafael Nadal, who has 22.
