He has one already. There are three more to go. Do you think he will win them all? If not, who will be the one to take them? Nadal, who lost all of the last 7 games against Djokovic? Federer maybe, but he will have to beat Nadal to get to Djokovic, which is not likely.

I don't think Djokovic will win Wimbledon (Nadal, Murray, or Federer, listed in likelihood of winning, will win). Roland Garros will be really interesting because of the career Grand Slam/Djoker Slam possibility and Nadal's dominance on the Paris clay. I like Djovokic's chances at the U.S. Open, though that may be where Andy Murray finally breaks through.

Why are you singling out Wimbledon as the one that Djokovic will not win?

When was the last time Andy Murray beat any of the Top Three?

In order for Murray to win, he would have to beat two of them in a row. He can't beat one of them in years, but two in a row, com'on now.

Historically, grass is Djovokic's weakest surface. Also, the pressure was off of him at last year's Wimbledon because of his loss a few weeks earlier at the French Open. He'll have more pressure on him there this year.

You did watch or at least read about Murray's close loss to Djovokic in this year's Australian Open semis, right? I think the gap between him and the top 3 is still there, but it's a lot narrower. His confidence was probably boosted by playing Djovokic as tough as he did. (Incidentally, I think the same is true for Rafael Nadal.) The remaining 3 Slam events in 2012 should be VERY interesting.

But, Djokovic is still the favorite to win. Everyone would agree with that.

Yes, I definitely agree with that.

I think Djovokic will win one of the remaining three Grand Slam events in 2012 and has a pretty good chance of winning two of them, but I'd be very surprised if he wins all three of them.

I would put it this way:

50% chance he will win all three
20% chance he will win two
20% chance he will win one
10% chance he will win none

This ofcourse changes if he drops out due to injuries and stuff.

Oz and Wimby.

Nadull will win RG as usual.

Murray will finally stop pushing the ball at big matches and win the US Open.
