I think it was. He knew he wasn't winning RG, and given that he was a bit beat up and injured anyway, it would have been silly to play. I think he is sure to be seeded 2nd or 3rd at Wimbledon. I know they use a combination of recent Wimbledon results and rankings. I think Murray would still have enough to be seeded 2nd, plus would they really have the balls to downgrade Murray's seeding behind someone ranked lower (even if it is Federer) there. I doubt it.

@MichaelNadal is one of my favorite posters and I say that knowing he doesn't like Djokovic who I am a big fan of, and is a huge fan of Nadal who I dislike. He helps keep long lightness, unpredictability, genuine emotion and passion, and humour to this oh-so-serious forum where a large variety of individuals seem to think themselves and their opinions are far more important than they really are.

Thanks man
People take this place WAYYYYYYY too seriously. Obviously I'm not rooting for Novak to win slams, but I call it like I see it and I haven't truly disliked him for a while now, no matter what people that think they know me want to say.

Sure Djokovic has gained the momentum and a new level of confidence, and he is in-form, but would all of these help him to travel that far until 2017?

Fed, Murray and Djokovic in the SF's.
Can Nadal get to the SF's this year?
Who will fill that 4th spot?

Barring injury or drop in motivation I don't see anything in his way for the next year and a half. He is gonna be even more confident now after RG as if he needed any more confidence to begin with. Now he's gonna be crazy motivated to win the CYGS so that'll keep him focused at least this year.

Yeah, well... The good thing is he's got three weeks to recover mentally. I think he'll do just fine.

CYGS, yeah that'd be so elegant! And it's very hard not to think about it after his FO title. And that's actually what the OP was trying to research primarily. If he made it, he would put himself at an indisputable position superior to Laver/Federer, wouldn't he? But, the question is, would this be too huge for him to carry on and cash?

With the lack of matches and possible health issues, I can't see Federer even making the semis. I have a feeling Nole is due for a letdown after putting everything into RG. But, once he wins a few matches, the competitive juices will be flowing to go after that calendar year slam. I hope Murray is motivated, because I could see him have a letdown match early in the tournament. I think a player like Kyrgios is ripe for a deep run. The time is now for the Tsonga and Berdych types.

At the moment, without the grass season getting underway and us watching all the key players show what they have, and with all the question marks surrounding Federer, a Djokovic v Murray showdown looks the likely scenario. Of course, my perception could easily change depending on what we see in these crucial upcoming tournaments. Going to be watching very closely to see what we can expect at the big one in SW19.

Will Nadal even play W? Will his wrist be healed enough? If he attempts to come back too soon, he's gonna pay the high price for it. Maybe he should target summer hard at this point.

I read an article earlier saying sources close to him say he's doubtful about W.

Because Djoker is ready for those guys. He may not be ready for someone of lesser stature who plays the match of his life.
What makes you think that Djoker will not make the final?

Sensible answer. You may be right.

Yeah, it is too tight for him to get proper prep for it. Better skip it and focus on getting an Olympic medal and going deep at USO this summer.

I've said for awhile now that I think Djoker gets upset at WIMBY before the final and I'm sticking with it. My pick to win is Andy unless Fed returns in 2015 form.

I'm thinking a little different. I think he wins Wimbledon and gets a medal at the Olympics and is fried by the uso and gets destroyed by Murray fed or someone else there.
I am starting to side with @Nathaniel_Near that Djokovic is going to try as hard as he can to get the grand slam.

That's how the greats decline. They don't start losing to the other top guys; they get stunned by players you'd never expect. See Rosol/Darcis/Dustin Brown, Richard Krajicek, Jiri Vesely.

I still believe (somewhat shakily) that Novak's worst surface is grass relatively speaking. I haven't been convinced by his average tournament level over the last few years, and I think it's the surface on which he's most likely to be upset; he's flirted with disaster over the last few years going 5 with Cilić, almost choking away the '14 final, and then going 5 with Anderson, but it must be said those players were playing well, and it wasn't a case of Djokovic playing terrible. I don't think he can get away with an average tournament level and just turn it on for the finals 3 years running on grass; I think this time around he gets burned.
