Djokovic to dazzle during 2012?

RAFAEL NADAL is the favourite to beat Novak Djokovic in the next Grand Slam final according to Ladbrokes.

The Spaniard is odds-on (4/7) to be the next player to beat Djokovic and it's looking likely Nadal (evens) will triumph over the world number one in the French Open.

With Nadal favoured on clay Djokovic is quoted at 5/2 to take home three Grand Slam titles this year but it's 10/1 he's victorious in all four completing a whitewash of majors. The firm also chalk up the Serbian at 25/1 to win all four majors and gold at the London 2012 Olympics.

Andy Murray's odds-on (2/7) to go without any silverware in 2012.

Jessica Bridge of Ladbrokes said: "Djokovic looks set to dominate 2012. We expect punters will be cheering him on at every Grand Slam."
