LONDON: Novak Djokovic says he is still "hungry" for Grand Slam glory as Wimbledon rivals queue up to hail him as the "greatest" and his achievements as "phenomenal".
Serbian great Novak Djokovic said he is hungry for more success as he begins his Wimbledon title defence, searching for a 24th Grand Slam singles title.
German-born British tennis player Jan Choinski makes his Wimbledon debut on Monday, hoping skills picked up as a ballet dancer will help him pirouette into the second round. "It will be a totally new experience for me. I cannot be more thankful," said the 27-year-old journeyman who has taken an unusual route to tennis's most prestigious event. Both his parents were professional ballet dancers. His mother Dominique was born in Singapore, the daughter of a naval officer, before she moved to live in Southampton on the English south coast.
Daniil Medvedev has no doubt that Novak Djokovic is the greatest tennis player in history and the world number three believes the Serbian's ability to conjure up victories even on his bad days sets him apart from the rest.
Novak Djokovic has Roger Federer's record of eight Wimbledon titles as well as a 24th major in his sights as he closes in on a first calendar Grand Slam in 54 years. Fresh from breaking out of a tie with Rafael Nadal for 23 Slams at the French Open, the 36-year-old Djokovic will comfortably be the overwhelming favourite at the All England Club when he starts his title defence on Monday. With a 10th Australian Open and third Roland Garros already wrapped up this season, an eighth Wimbledon triumph would leave Djokovic needing just the US Open in September to emulate Rod Laver's sweep of all four majors in 1969.
Andy Murray is determined to show he is 'still one of the best grass court players in the world' at Wimbledon as he marks the 10-year anniversary of the moment that defines his career. The build-up to action at SW19 has seen Murray celebrated just as much as his old adversary Novak Djokovic, perhaps the greatest indicator of the esteem he is still held in within the men's game. Ad Friday will mark a decade since he beat Djokovic to win the first of his two Wimbledon crowns and while a repeat may appear unlikely, he has never been one to rule himself out of contention.
