Former ATP star Feliciano Lopez has addressed whether this year\u2019s Wimbledon Championships is Novak Djokovic\u2019s last chance to win a Grand Slam title.<\/p>\n
Djokovic<\/a> won his 24th and most recent major at the 2023 US Open, while the last of his seven Wimbledon triumphs came in 2022.<\/p>\n The legendary Serb, who turned 38 in May, is aiming to become the oldest Grand Slam singles champion in tennis history at Wimbledon.<\/p>\n The current world No 6 was a runner-up to Carlos Alcaraz in the last two championship matches at the All England Club. Djokovic fell to Jannik Sinner in the semi-finals of the French Open earlier this month.<\/p>\n In an interview with Sky Sports<\/a>, Lopez argued grass is now the only surface on which Djokovic can match Alcaraz and Sinner.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s hard to say whether this is Novak\u2019s last opportunity because with Novak you have to be aware of what you say about him,\u201d said the former world No 12.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s not at the levels of Carlos and Jannik, especially in the last 18 months, because the numbers speak for themselves, but the way he played against Sinner surprised me.<\/p>\n \u201cHe challenged Sinner and pushed him to the limit and, although the gap is still big, I see the grass as the only place for him to get to this level that they play because the grass is very different.<\/p>\n The 5 Wimbledon men\u2019s singles title favourites \u2013 ranked!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n The 7 men with the best win percentage on grass: Djokovic 3rd, Federer with 86.9%<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n \u201cDjokovic proved that he can still compete at this level but he will have a better chance on grass.\u201d<\/p>\n Sky Sports commentator Jonathan Overend has given his verdict on world No 4 Jack Draper\u2019s chances at Wimbledon.<\/p>\n \u201cDraper is in that group of contenders who can win Wimbledon,\u201d assessed Overend.<\/p>\n \u201cThe top band only has two players \u2013 Sinner and Alcaraz \u2013 with the next band containing Djokovic, along with Draper, Daniil Medvedev, Taylor Fritz and Lorenzo Musetti.<\/p>\n \u201cDraper is absolutely a contender to win Wimbledon. He is definitely a contender to make the final.<\/p>\n \u201cHaving said that he will need a little bit of luck because he would have to beat Alcaraz and Sinner back-to-back potentially. He could beat one of them, but can he beat both? Unlikely! Maybe in the future.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s intriguing and it\u2019s possible as I said at the start of the year that Draper could make the Wimbledon final and nothing has happened in the last six months to change my mind.\u201d<\/p>\n READ NEXT:\u00a0Novak Djokovic leaves former ATP star \u2018more than surprised\u2019 with motivation claims<\/a> The post Novak Djokovic Wimbledon warning sent to Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner\u00a0by former world No 12<\/a> appeared first on Tennis365<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Former ATP star Feliciano Lopez has addressed whether this year\u2019s Wimbledon Championships is Novak Djokovic\u2019s last chance to win a Grand Slam title.
