French Open 2012: Novak Djokovic Will Win Fourth Straight Grand Slam

Novak Djokovic will emerge victorious from this year's French Open, giving him four consecutive Grand Slam victories.

Djovokic has never won the French Open. He has made the semifinals in 2007, 2008 and 2011. Those small successes will help Djokovic master Roland Garros' clay surface this time around.

No one is playing better than Djokovic right now. Clay may be considered Rafael Nadal's surface of choice, but it will not make a difference this year.

Djokovic will win this year's French Open. Let's take a look at his game and why he will claim the crown.

No Noticeable Weaknesses

Djokovic used to have one glaring weakness. He struggled to place his serve correctly, and was forced to adjust his mechanics in 2009.

Now, Djokovic routinely knocks ace serves by opponents. This leaves his game completely void of any major flaws.

Djokovic covers the entire court, hits shots anywhere and has a devastating backhand. He moves opponents from side to side with expert precision, and has the agility to counter any of their subsequent shots.

The combination of velocity and accuracy allow Djokovic's shots to penetrate. He keeps opponents off balance and forces them to play on their heels.

Aside from his superb skills, Djokovic is scorching hot. With three-straight Grand Slam victories, his confidence is soaring coming into play at Roland Garros.

Why Djokovic Will Win

Momentum, talent and prior shortcomings will propel Djokovic to French Open glory this year.

Djokovic remembers his three losses in the semifinals better than anyone. He does not want to come up short again, especially with his consecutive Grand Slam streak on the line.

That streak gives Djokovic a ton of momentum coming into his first-round matchup with Potito Starace. Starace will not provide a glimmer of resistance, allowing Djokovic's confidence to rise even further.

On top of these factors is Djokovic's incredible all-around game.

Djokovic is only 25, entering his prime and trying to get a foothold among the world's all-time greats. He has the talent to put himself next to Nadal or Roger Federer in the long run. His five career Grand Slams do not measure up to what's on their resumes, but he has plenty of time to make up ground.

Djokovic's game can be tailored to any playing surface, and he can adapt to beat any opponent. Tennis fans should expect him to be one of this year's finalists.
