Novak Djokovic will not want to see Roger Federer in his half of the draw at Wimbledon this year according to his coach, Goran Ivanisevic. The world No 1 could face the Swiss legend in the quarterfinals if they are in the same half of the draw. “I think Roger made a smart move in Paris,” he told Tennis Majors. “He tested his body, whipped himself into shape a bit, and got exactly what he wanted; three matches under his belt and then he did not want to risk getting injured. “Wimbledon is his number one goal. To be honest, I would not want to see him in our part of the draw there.” Ivanisevic felt it was better for Djokovic to face the Spaniard in the semi-finals over the final. He added: “We were in Belgrade when the draw for Roland Garros came out, and he was not particularly happy seeing Rafa and Roger in his half of the draw. Honestly, I preferred it that way. Rafa has never lost a final in Paris, the approach and mentality for a final are always very specific, and Rafa has 13 titles in Paris. It is a similar mentality to the one Djokovic has at the Australian Open.”
