Novak Djokovic insists there will be no hangover from his painful French Open final defeat against Rafael Nadal as the world number one prepares to defend his Wimbledon title
The 25-year-old had beaten Nadal in the Wimbledon, US Open and Australian Open finals over the last 12 months, but he couldn’t continue that remarkable sequence at Roland Garros earlier this month.

“It’s behind me now,” Djokovic said. “I was so close and there was a slight disappointment after the match because I was aware of the chance that I had in Roland Garros,” he added.
