Novak Djokovic who is currently ranked as the greatest player in the world, prepares to begin his campaign to secure his fourth straight Grand slam victory to become the first man for 43 years to hold all four grand slam victories at the same time, which would be achieved within a fortnight at the Roland Garros Stadium in Paris. The success of Djokovic has been pretty impressive as he has hit the peak of performance over the alst two years which included an astonishing forty three game unbeaten run before losing to roger Federer at the French open semi-final in 2011.
There is little doubt that the Sebian is the hottest property in tennis at the moment and on electric form on the court. The Serbian has caused a growing belief that he has become the leader of a new era in men’s tennis as he has now beaten Rafa Nadal seven times in a row when securing his Australian open. This run will now be tested as the Spaniards success in Paris is unrivalled as he searches for his seventh victory here. Djokovic has much to do to secure this heroic victory.
The world number one remains confident of his ability to secure his fourth consecutive grand slam believing: “My mindset is always positive and I’m always expecting from myself a lot.” The Serbian has piled pressure on himself a number of times in his career and has always seemed to lift himself to the big occasion. The question that remains is can he do it again on his most hated court type against Nadal who appears unbeatable when it comes to the French Open? Whatever happens it should prove an exciting tournament for the fans.
A Serbian professional player, born in the year 1987, Novak Djokovic has been ranked number one by the Associate of Tennis Professionals since July 4th 2011.

Novak Djokovic has won five grand slam awards – the 2008, 2011, 2012 Australian Open, the 2011 Wimbledon Championship and the 2011 U.S Open Championship.
What makes Novak Djokovic special is that he is the only Serbian player to have won the Major single title and also one of the youngest players to have reached the semifinals of all four grand slam events consecutively.

In the quarter finals of the same tournament, Novak Djokovic won against David Ferrer, and in the semi finals Djokovic beat Andy Murray before taking on former champion Rafael Nadal in the Final. The match went on for around six hours when finally Novak Djokovic beat Rafael Nadal by 7-5 in the final set.
Apart from all of this, Novak Djokovic was also named as the 2011 ITF World Championship, and was rightly named by Boris Becker as one of the very best tennis players in a long time. What’s more – even Rafael Nadal (who has been defeated by Novak Djokovic on many occasions) has described Djokovic’s as a top class performer.
