A Djokovic trivia :

[King_ Zeglan12]

Novak Djokovic has never won the AO when he has stepped in simultaneously as the Defending champion and 2nd seed.

The previous two times when he stepped into AO as mentioned:

2014: Loss against Wawrinka in 5 in the QFs

2017: Loss against Istomin in 5 in the 2nd round

Wonder if this will continue or will Djokovic break this..?

 

[GoldenMasters]

Novak Djokovic has always defended AO when winning it after a gap of no AO wins.

The previous two times when he defended it was as mentioned:

2011-2012

2015-2016

Wonder if this will continue or will Djokovic....?

 

[EdSWright]

He has never lost after stepping out of an egg.

That's two different trends.
Wonder which is broken

Don't know but in all honesty Djokovic not winning this AO would be surprising. He seems to be in okay form and would obviously love to get that juicy #17.

He has no open personal issue, he is not injured or ill and he looks pretty fit, if a bit slower due to age, but with some adjustments to his game to compensate.

It will take consequtive matches taken to 3 o 4 hours with 2 in season's peak form players starting at his eg 4th match to take him out at his pet major - Wawrinka, Tsitsipas, Medvedev or Wawrinka, Thiem, Federer.

Wait for the draw. It might help with making it less boring. But, while playing with it might seem fun for some as we wait for it to start, statistics won't predict the outcome.

 

[OhYes]

When they finish careers it would make any remote sense, until they are not active some stats are nothing just numbers waiting to be debunked.

Agree..I just pointed out a small trivia

Now with the draw, you think he is ready to defend his crown

These are just random stats..

Don't worry, guys. Djoker always won the AO when he won Wimbledon in last season

His best is not as good as before, so he will not have it as easy as before/last year. His relative weakness will surely increase motivation of opponents.

However, there are months and a lot to happen before that, not only AO, but if we are looking for a proper Slam fun I expect it to be at RG with roof and llghts.

That last sentence is so true. The roof factor could put rafas french open reign in jeopardy. It will certainly change dynamics a bit.

For example last years hurricane conditions, if it happens again will be played indoors or if it rains a lot. Will have a huge affect. Certainly good for Novak’s chances.

Yeah but ppl tend to predict things on such numbers which is totally wrong.
