Did you watch Wimbledon 2012 ??

Beneteau gave Fed a scare(2 points away from winning) when the roof was close.

In the event Nadal doesnt return by Roland Garros (and in decent shape) then yes a huge one. Murray should win Wimbledon, he is a better grass courter than Djokovic, but it doesnt mean he will. It will probably be hard for Federer to beat Djokovic at a slam again with his increasing age, and that Djokovic is not likely to be as off as he was at times in 2012 again, even at Wimbledon (although if he were to do it anywhere, that is probably his only chance at this stage). Murray could also stop Djokovic at the U.S Open like he did last year. With Nadal a big question mark at this point, Djokovic should win both the Australian and French Opens, it is the latter two that is the question mark. Wimbledon since he isnt an untouchable grass court player, and the U.S Open due to the pressure that would be on him to complete the Grand Slam if he has already won Wimbledon.

Not that again? He got lucky with the schedule (top part of the draw) and not having to play Fed. He still deserved his win 100% and congrats to him.
OK, now that's been said, they'd better get rid of that Super Saturday garbage once and for all. Djoko was WAY out of gas in the final (a bit like Murray was in USO 200. My patience is starting to wear thin with the USO's unique and aberrant scheduling in general.

It's funny how opinions swing here. Djokovic hasn't won a single major in 2013 and yet we have people thinking about four in a row.

Djokovic is NOT gonna do it. He is NOT gonna win more than two majors.

Yes he will.

Nope. Murray will probably win another slam this year, we still can't count Nadal out for the FO if he actually shows up and you can't count Federer out at possibly W or the USO. Djokovic will win two tops this year.

Djokovic is NOT gonna all four. I am ready to bet for any amount you say. I expect Murray and Federer to win one each, (US and W). If Nadal plays in RG, then I don't see Djokovic win more than his AO

I disagree. I think he will win all 4 slams because he has no one to stop him. It's going to be a one man show with that Bozo at the helm.

[kOaMaster]

I don't think he will do it, mainly because of wimbledon. No idea how and why he won in 2011, but I don't think Djokovic is good enough to win wimbledon again. I see Federer, Murray and probably even others like Tsonga and Del Potro better than him. The ranking at the olympics represent my point of view of wimbledon.

[Steve0904]

It is an opportunity, but a very slim one. My thought is if he couldn't do it in 2011, he won't be doing it this year because I think 2011 was a one off for him.

[Flash O'Groove]

Nole is a heavy favorite for AO. I don't really see Fed beat him there. Murray could, but it will be though.

If Nadal is not in good form for Roland-Garros, then Fed will give it a real shot, which I don't think he did in 2012. They are 3-3 on clay, 1-1 at RG. Nole would be a favorite, but it wouldn't be a given for him to beat Fed. Del Potro could also be a threat in Paris.

Nole won't be favorite at Wimby if Fed and Murray are in good form. Other player could beat him in a good day (Tsonga and Berdych).

The US Open is...open. It Murray, Federer, maybe Del Potro can beat him here.

In the French, it may be a close battle, but he has a much better chance against Nadal this time. Nadal would be low on confidence, playing experience. Also, the 2011 match was much closer than it seemed.

Wimbledon. HE lost to Federer, but by then, Federer's GS days would be numbered. Nadal didnt even play last Wimbledon, and it would have been so long since he wong there.

The US Open. Murray got quite lucky, and Djokovic, he wasnt playing his best due to the wind.

Did you get shot in the head, because there are so many fails in this post, I don't know where to begin.

Bad logic, and Djokovic will have a good chance in 2013, especially at Roland Garros.

lol @ this.

Fed at 30 takes out peak Novak on clay.

Novak back down to earth, does not beat Fed/Murray for 4 straight GS's, it ain't happening.

No that's fine logic. Truthfully I don't think Djokovic is as good as Federer or Nadal overall, hence the reason that if neither of them could do it, why Djokovic?

Steve, I said bad logic because, obviously, Federer didn't win CYGS because Nadal at RG, and Djokovic will have a good chance in RG 2013, based on everything that's happening now with Nadal.

Nadal didn't win CYGS, because we have two Grand Slam in year on HC, he never won two HC GS in a season, that's why I think Djokovic has a good chance, he is first favourite in AO and USO(with Murray). Wimbledon will be the hardest for him, that's for sure, of course, first we need to see what will happen in AO.

[Phoenix1983]

No one ever has a good chance to win the CYGS.

However Djoker in 2013 has a better chance than most, I'd say around 20%.

I don't see him winning Wimbledon though, I think his victory in 2011 was something of, if not a fluke, than an unrepeatable victory. I think Murray will triumph on home soil in 2013.

Without Nadal, Djoko would be the overwhelming favorite at RG. Fed is too old for red clay (in 2012, he lost to Djoko both in Rome and RG and was close to losing to Delpo at RG, it will be worse this year). The one slam I don't see Djoko winning is Wimbledon. Not that it is impossible but I would still put Fed and Murray as favorites over Djoko there.
ETA: Djoko is a terrible matchup for Delpo, I don't know how on earth you imagine Delpo could beat him at USO. I disagree with that too.

I agree, however, the CYGS is NOT his priority...and most likely not his fantasy.
Especially because he sees his chance to grab the RG this year. He openly stated this in Serbian media -- that the RG is his 2013 priority.
I say, he will most likely win the AO (at least in the Finals) and he will grab the RG.
Wimby and USO are up for grabs.
Federer will not get a single slam in 2013

Just my prediction.
