Tim Henman: 'Novak Djokovic is favourite for Wimbledon trophy'

Former Wimbledon semi-finalist Tim Henman has admitted that Novak Djokovic is the favourite to lift this year's title.

The Serbian is a two-time champion at the All England Club, and beat Roger Federer to win last year's crown.

Henman told Sky Sports News: "He's the favourite going in and he's the number one player in the world for a reason.

"He has only lost one really big match this year at the French Open and when you reflect on [Stanislas] Wawrinka's performance it was incredible the way he played, so Djokovic is the favourite but I think [Andy] Murray and Federer are a pretty close joint-second.

"The draw means that he will have to be on his game from the word go as his first-round opponent Philipp Kohlschreiber is an experienced campaigner, but on the other side of the coin you would have to say it would be a huge surprise if Djokovic didn't get through the first couple of rounds. It will focus his mind and I am sure on Monday he will be ready and raring to go."

Djokovic has already won the Australian Open this year.
