Despite the fact that Novak Djokovic lost in the semifinal of the French Open to Rafael Nadal, he still came away as a winner in some aspects of the game.

Djokovic was never in any danger of losing his world No. 1 ranking and no matter what Nadal did in the semifinal or the final, he was going to fall from No. 4 to No. 5.

Neil McLeman of The Mirror looked at what Murray will likely have to get through to win at Wimbledon and it involves Djokovic.

In terms of win percentage, grass is the second-best surface that Djokovic plays on. Keep in mind, however, that he’s only played 55 career matches there. He’s 32-7 in his caree...
