Novak Djokovic is displaying no such pressure as he approaches another chance to stamp his tennis dominance this season.
Djokovic is showing no signs of stress in defending his Wimbledon title, with less than a week before the tournament kicks off. In his visit to London with his wife Jelena, Djokovic took twitter to post his enjoyment of riding the Tube as he assumes the role of being a tourist despite the heavy competition that awaits him at the All England Club on June 27.
Djokovic has been dominating the tennis scene in the past two season, winning four of the last five Grand Slam events, most recently at the French Open, where he won his first ever Roland Garros title after defeating Andy Murray in the final round.
Competing at Wimbledon, where Djokovic has been victorious in two-straight years, the Serb will have a chance to get closer at achieving a calendar sweep and a Golden Slam, which only 22-Grand Slam winner Steffi Graf has accomplished.
With career rival Roger Federer showing rustiness and Rafael Nadal skipping the event due to a left wrist injury, odds to win in Church Road are strongly in favor of the 12-time Grand Slam champ. That leaves Murray as the only roadblock to Djokovic's crowning of a fourth Wimbledon title, although next generation stars like Alexander Zverev and Dominic Thiem, who both defeated Federer in the Swiss' last two outings, could also become a wild card for championship.
Meanwhile, Djokovic has hit the outside courts of Wimbledon for his practice session for the third Grand Slam event of the year. The Belgrade native is also set to face Belgian David Goffin on the second day of The Boodles, his only appearance at a grass court event ahead of Wimbledon.
Certainly, Djokovic approaches the event as the prohibitive favorite, but the world No. 1 must stay hungry for victory and glory if he wishes to maintain his chances of being etched in the sport's history books.
