With the way he is playing now, I'm sure Novak Djokovic would really be pissed at himself if he once again, ends up being the bridesmaid in this year's French Open.
Everyone expected him to win it last year, until Stan Wawrinka spoiled his party. Novak's clay court season this year looked pretty solid, although he lost to Murray two weeks ago in Rome, got bageled in a set by Brazilian player Bellucci and lost early to Vesely in Monte Carlo.
He did win in Madrid and Miami so he still is the odds-on favorite to win this title this year.
With Roger Federer out of contention due to injury, none of the other top four now have to deal with an extra great grand slam champion on their side of the draw.
So on paper, Novak's hardest assignment would be Milos Raonic in the QFs, a possible meeting with Nadal in the SFs, and possibly Murray in the final. He had wins over these players this clay court season so all he as to do stay on top of his game all the way to the finals.
