VERDICT

Djokovic finally broke the Federer-Nadal stranglehold on the Grand Slam events when he won the Australian Open back in January. With a superb range of shots, there's no doubt he's the real deal and it could well be Djokovic who finally usurps Federer as world number one. He has the ability to perform on all surfaces, as he has proved over the past 12 months by reaching at least the semi-finals of all the majors. Having won the recent Rome Masters, he looks sure to go close again.
