Novak Djokovic says that Rafael Nadal's Wimbledon exit proves that anyone can win the tournament.

World number one Novak Djokovic has insisted that Rafael Nadal's shock exit from Wimbledon makes no difference to his chances of success.

The Spaniard lost to world number 100 Lukas Rosol in the second round of the competition in one of the biggest upsets in tennis history.

Djokovic believes that the incident proves that he, Nadal, Roger Federer and Andy Murray aren't the only contenders for the SW19 crown.

"It's not about four players. This is a draw of 128 players," said the Serbian.

"Everybody, especially in the opening rounds of the tournament, has big motivation to make a surprise, to go out there and play their best tennis.

"You can't underestimate any opponents. You have to go slowly."

Djokovic meets Victor Troicki on Monday in the fourth round of the tournament.
