"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.
