The Serbian's struggles over the past two years have been clear for all to see. Last year, he struggled for form and consistency, with the Serb lacking the same motivation and fire as before. Like Del Potro, Djokovic seems to have moved on from his injury struggles and is now playing with extra motivation. His ability and experience cannot be questioned though, with three Wimbledon titles and 68 career titles to his name.

Two of Federer's three defeats in Wimbledon finals have come against Djokovic, proving how dangerous the Serb is, when at his best. Djokovic's serve will be key to his chances at the All England Club, given the problems he had with it at the start of the year. His volleys and touch at the net have improved significantly over the years, although he generally stays behind the baseline.

Djokovic’s mental strength is also one of his greatest attributes, with the 2014 Wimbledon final an obvious example of this. In the fourth set of that match, Djokovic had two championship points but squandered both. Many players would have crumbled mentally from that position but Djokovic went on to win his second Wimbledon title. In the following year, the Serb had to deal with a very pro-Federer crowd, who showed their love for Roger. Novak stood in the face of that as he secured his third Wimbledon title in four sets.

Could this year's Wimbledon signal Novak’s return to the top?
