Djokovic is the favorite to win the Australian Open, but… FEDERER

Roger believes that the world no.1 is the absolute favorite to win the Australian Open, but there are some more players that could make it

Novak Djokovc favorite for Australian Open for Federer

We are getting closer and closer to the start of the 2019 Australian Open and Roger Federer has 1 name in mind as the super-favorite: Novak Djokovic.

The world no.1 had a rather disappointing run in Doha where he struggled during 3 of the last 4 matches that he played. Eventually, he ended up losing in the semifinals at the hands of Roberto Bautista Agut.

On the other side, Roger Federer played a fantastic Hopman Cup. He conquered the competition at the photo-finish and he impressed for his remarkable tennis. The Swiss won all his 4 single matches and in the last one, he dismissed Alexander Zverev with an impressive 6-4 6-2.

Why Novak Djokovic is the favorite. FEDERER

During a recent interview, Roger commented

“No doubt about it, Novak is the favourite. Regardless of what happened in Doha, he had a super, super strong last five or six months of the year.

With his class, once he gets his groove back he is hard to beat.”

… I am also one of the favorites

Then Roger added

I’m one of the top 10 favorites and so are many others. I don’t know the draw yet, I don’t know who my first round opponent is, I don’t know if I play on Monday or day or night.

In terms of who is going to win it, we know who the usual suspects are and I am part of that bunch.
