Tim Henman backs Novak Djokovic to surpass Roger Federer's record Grand Slam tally

Novak Djokovic clinched his fifth Wimbledon title in the first All England Club final last week. Djokovic saved two match points in a 7-6(5), 1-6, 7-6(4), 4-6, 13-12(3) triumph against Roger Federer in the longest Wimbledon singles final in the history of the tournament that lasted for more than four hours. Former British tennis star Tim Henman has backed the current world number one to surpass Swiss maestro Federer’s record Grand Slam tally of 20 titles. “It’s going to be very interesting to watch.He’s five years younger than Federer so he’s got much more time on his side. The level of play that Djokovic is at right now, it really wouldn’t surprise me if he did overtake Federer in the future," Sport24 quoted Henman as saying.
