Wimbledon 2013 | Novak Djokovic v Jeremy Chardy June 29, 2013

Wimbledon 2013 | Novak Djokovic v Jeremy Chardy June 29, 2013

Novak Djokovic takes on Jeremy Chardy this afternoon in the third round of Wimbledon 2013.

Jeremy Chardy has displayed a lot of dedication over the past few years and deservedly he now sits at a career high of No. 25 in the world rankings. Even so, he appears to be a lamb to the slaughter at Wimbledon 2013 as he'll take on world No. 1 Novak Djokovic later today.

Following the defeats of Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, Djokovic's status as the favourite of Wimbledon 2013 for the title has been massively strengthened. Also, whilst several other star players have fallen by the wayside, Djokovic has managed to cruise through his opening matches, not once seeming in danger of making an exit. There's no real reason to expect that to change against Chardy.

Djokovic has won all six of the previous meeting between the pairing, and to make matters worse for the Frenchman every win has been in straight sets. Chardy is also one of the men who Djokovic dismantled (6-4 6-1 6-1) on his way to the Wimbledon 2011 title. Past form and current form point to one outcome here. Unless Chardy can produce the performance of his career, he'll be packing his bags this evening.
