Former world number one Tim Henman has picked top-ranked Novak Djokovic as favourite for the upcoming third major of the season namely, Wimbledon.
The Serbian defending champion has been in superb form this year, having won all four Grand Slam title after beating Andy Murray in the French Open final earlier this month. He has also notched up a total of 44-3 win-loss record for the year.
Henman insisted that Djokovic plays with consistency and is the clear favourite for any tournament, but admitted that second-ranked Murray has also separated himself from the rest of the players.
The Brition said that although reunion with former coach Ivan Lendl would work in favour of Murray, he added that this re-enlistment is not going to bother Djokovic.
The Wimbledon is slated to be held from June 27 to July 10.
