Checking Djokovic's Draw in Wimbledon 2012

Novak is my other pick as the most likely guy to challenge Rafael Nadal in the Wimbledon finals two weeks from now.  These two are just playing at such a high level that I don't see any of the other guys being able to be strong enough to beat them at this moment - especially on a Grand Slam scale.

Interestingly, both Nadal and Djokovic have most likely, the toughest semifinal assignments.  Nadal has Tsonga, Djokovic has last year's finalist, Berdych.  Phew!  They really have to raise their game if they want to get through these guys.

Djokovic will likely face some test from veteran Radek Stepanek, Juan Monaco and American Ryan Harrison - if the draw falls into place.  Nobody that he couldn't handle though.

In the semifinal though, he should face Roger Federer but Federer's playing just lacks spark nowadays.  Yes, he can still defeat the rest of the field, but the top two right now, he has to climb Everest.

But well, this is grass, and he has been the champion here many times over, so we can't just write him off the list.
