The 28-year-old Belgrade native will target his ninth grand slam title in south west London, to match his coach Boris Becker&rsquo;s record in SW19.
Djokovic joked &ldquo;we shouldn&rsquo;t spend too many words&rdquo; on Swiss master Federer, but conceded he learned the blueprint for grand slam victories from the 17-time major winner.
&ldquo;Roger and I have played many times and he&rsquo;s one of my greatest rivals,&rdquo; said Djokovic.
&ldquo;He&rsquo;s one of the people that actually made me a better player, as well. In the matches against him, I went through a lot of different emotions and things that allowed me to understand what I need to do to become a better player and to win against him and win Grand Slam trophies.&rdquo;
