DJOKOVIC TARGETS WIMBLEDON TITLE

World number three Novak Djokovic has set his sights on winning a maiden Wimbledon title and has committed to playing at the Queen's Club in preparation.



The Serb beat Andy Murray in the Australian Open final for his second Grand Slam triumph and has quickly turned his thoughts to winning on grass.

"Wimbledon is the most important tournament of the year for me," the 23-year-old, who has twice reached the semi-finals at the All England Club, told the BBC.

"The Queen's Club has got great grass courts, it's a great atmosphere with always a packed house of spectators, and you just feel good there.

"Rafa (Nadal) and I had an incredible match in the Queen's final in 2008 and it was the closest I ever got to a grass-court title.

"I really want to do well at Queen's and Wimbledon this year."

Djokovic will once again be joined at Queen's by Nadal, the Spaniard also confirming his presence as he prepares to defend his Wimbledon title.

The AEGON Championship takes place at Queen's from June 6-12 while Wimbledon begins a week later on June 20.

Tickets for Wimbledon available at Tickets To Wimbledon.
