John McEnroe and Chris Evert pick Novak Djokovic as their favourite for the SW19 Championship!

Novak Djokovic has done enough in the past few years to prove his capability. The world #1 has beaten all the top players regularly on the tour and the major slams as well.

But, after being edged out by the 'King of Clay' Rafael Nadal in a thrilling 5-setter encounter in the semifinals of the Roland Garros, the question arises - Will Djokovic win the SW19 this year?

Djokovic has been in his prime form this year, winning the Australian Open 2013.

However, Rafael Nadal, who came back from a long break due to a knee-injury, brushed aside his Serbian counterpart and eventually went on to take the title at Roland Garros.

7-time Wimbledon Champion and the Defending Champion here - Roger Federer will also look to stun his critics by claiming the Championship on his favourite surface.

Andy Murray has also been impressive on the grass. The Brit reached the finals of the Wimbledon last year where he lost to Federer, but came back strong to clinch the gold-medal at the London Olympics 2013 with a sweet revenge over the Swiss ace.

Tennis greats like John McEnroe and Chris Evert have chosen Djokovic as their man!

"I think it is a tougher call to see who the favourite would be. I would pick Djokovic first and Murray second," McEnroe quoted in a conference call with the ESPN reporters.

"I think Murray will be hungrier not playing the French, maybe a little fresher, then Roger, because he still has such a great game for grass. It's tough to win it back-to-back at his age. Rafa having come back so great... maybe I'm wrong, because I thought he would be a little tired. That would be the order if I had to pick 1 to 4," he added.

Chris Evert said, "Djokovic comes to mind only because I think the disappointment at the French Open. I have a sneaking suspicion that Federer has put all his eggs in one basket and he's gunning for Wimbledon. It's the only Grand Slam that he really has a legitimate chance at. I don't mean that against him, it's just that the competition is so good."

The main round of the Championships kicks-off on 24th June!
