Serbian star Novak Djokovic said he doesn’t not consider himself a serious contender for the Wimbledon title after his collapse in the Queen’s Club final against Marin Cilic on Sunday.

Djokovic was closing in on his first title for 12 months after clinching a match point in the second set.

However, the 31-year-old wasted that opportunity and ruined another one after taking a 4-1 lead in the second set tie-break to eventually lose the match 5-7, 7-6 (7/4), 6-3 .

“I wouldn’t say I’m a contender, you know, for a (Wimbledon) trophy or anything like that,” Djokovic was quoted as saying by AFP.

The Wimbledon starts on July 2 and the Serbian has just about one a week to get back on track. Djokovic said he is not at the level he needs to be for success at Wimbledon.

“I have to keep my expectations very low, considering my results in the last 12 months,” he said.

“I think everyone will agree that Roger is the number one favourite. But Cilic is right up there next to him.”

However, Djokovic insisted he retains the desire to compete at the highest level.

“It’s what I’m playing for. Obviously I am here right after coming from the court, speaking to you guys, and I’m not going to be ecstatic about losing a final.”
