Novak Djokovic: Breaking Down Djoker's Chance at Winning Grand Slam
After nearly 11 hours of wonderful, nail-biting action against Andy Murray and Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic somehow escaped Australia as the champion.
One down, three to go.
And if they're all as easy as Australia, Djoker only has about 40 hours of absolutely perfect tennis he has to play to achieve the season Grand Slam.
Only.
This feat is about as hard as any other achievement in sport, but let's look at Djokovic's chances at the three remaining majors.
French Open
This is going to be the hardest for Djoker to win because he's had the least amount of success at the French and has yet to win there, and Rafael Nadal is absolutely unstoppable at the French.
Nadal may be 45-1 at the French Open (!), but the arrow is definitely pointing up for Djokovic. During their last two clay-court matches at Rome and Madrid, Novak has come out on top over Nadal.
Throw in the fact that he has beaten Nadal seven straight times, and he has to at least have a chance in France, despite Rafa's absolute dominance there.
Wimbledon
Djokovic won at Wimbledon last year, but Nadal won the year before that, so this is far from a sure thing. Also, don't forget about Roger Federer.
Federer looked to be back to his former self in Australia, so you can bet he's going to be a tough out at Wimbledon, which is where he's historically been at his best.
Getting past both Rafa and Federer, who have each won around 90 percent of their matches at Wimbledon, will be no easy feat.
US Open
This is where I like Djokovic the most. He's shown that he really can't be beat on a hard court, while Nadal has historically struggled (in terms of Nadal) at the US Open and Federer hasn't made it past the semis since 2009.
Federer is still dangerous in New York, but I like Djoker's chances over him there more than I do anywhere else.
