It would take a huge upset if he didn't. Cecchinato had a once in a lifetime run, and was during Novak's slump. Federer is coming back after a long time not playing and two surgeries on his knee; he won't make it. Humbert might be a leftie, but Djokovic doesn't struggle against them. Just Nadal on clay, but that is Nadal, not lefties. I don't think he has the mentality to beat Djokovic on Bo5, even if his game were troubling him.

I'd say that if he doesn't make it to the semis it's because Berrettini is playing lights out. But I don't think he'll make it, since he won't have that much of an advantage when serving.

and i watched humbert 's few of clay match and his forehand bounce on clay is pretty huge
he can make match very physical
he is just young and fast

why everyone belive novak djokovic is unplayble in RG
he lost 2009 RG 3R
and RG is only place that he lost last three agianst j. melzer
he lost federer , wawrinka , thiem in RG
Wawrinka is not at the level he once had, neither is Federer. Thiem started to look like he'd overtake the oldies, and just got into a hole. Djokovic is a way more mature player than he was in 2009. He lost there to Kohlschreiber, a top30 clay specialist. I don't see any of those in the draw.

I have to admit I haven't seen much of Humbert, and I don't know if any of that was on clay. I'd love it if it turns to be a very competitive match, regardless of who wins. And if you told me that before Rome, I could take it. But after how Djokovic played there, I honestly don't think that he'll be out before the semis.

Let's see what happens. I'm also excited for RG!!! :)

Novak is nowhere at the level he should be to threaten Rafa.
RF is nowhere at the level to threaten Novak or much lower ranked players for that matter...

I think either Berr , Fed, Cecchinato or Umbert can take him down, don't see him going in qf.
Well I am hoping he lift his sixth trophy in Wimbledon...

Why are you winking at me. I hate winkers. Anyways, I do not care if Djokovic is better than Federer, which is my personal belief regarding the big 3 anyways. Right now, GOAT is Fed/Nadal then Djokovic. But it will end up Djokovic or Nadal, then the other one, then Federer. I do not care anymore. And I like Djokovic too. Think he deserves the GOAT status, but if Nadal gets it whatever, that is fine too.

Right now? There is no such thing as "Right now GOAT". Because Borg or Pete or Laver may be even better since we will never know how would RF/Rafa/Novak play in their eras...
After that arrogant move, he went 9:19 vs. Novak.

Everyone in the media is calling one of the Big 3 GOAT right now. That's what I'm talking about, not the facts and potential achievements of past greats, but the one who gets the label. Right now, it's Fed and Nadal. Honestly, I think Djokovic already did enough to be up there. His grand slam tally is a mere 10% below the other two. Isn't there some thing in psychology where you can't even notice a difference if there is less than 15% difference? It doesn't matter anyways. Nadal and Djokovic will separate themselves enough to where we are choosing between them. But at the end of the day, Fed is going to win RG 2021. That's just the facts.

It would be pretty tragic if he didn't make it to the semis with the draw he has. Although clay is his worst surface.

Novak is scary consistent at RG...
In last 14 of 15 editions he reached QF...
In 2009, he lost in 3rd round...

So, considering his form, and mostly considering potential opponents, he is almost certain to get to SF...
Baring some accident, off course, as injury, corona, DQ for some reason...

I am not arguing your points however, I don't think there is a the GOAT
I do believe in the Greatest of an Era though and those three are of the current Era

He did his job and won belgrade 2.
He needs to play a couple rounds and tank the French and GTF on the grass.
Mental illness doing things over and over expecting different results.
 
Nothing is certain and Novaks worst surface is clay. He’s favourite to get to SF but he’s no lock. Still I’m looking forward to Wimbledon more as a Novak fan. His chances of winning RG are pretty remote because of you know who. I’d rather he kept himself for grass but I guess with his draw he can give it a free hit and see what happens
