Novak Djokovic has claimed that Roger Federer is the favourite to win gold in the men's singles at this summer's Olympic Games.

The Swiss top seed booked his place in the second round on Saturday after he overcame Colombia's Alejandro Falla in three sets on Centre Court.

"Roger, as recent Wimbledon winner, stands probably the best chance to win gold because of his career, success and history," Serbian second seed Djokovic told reporters. "He is the number one favorite and then you have Murray, myself and Tsonga."

Djokovic will start his singles campaign later today against Italy's Fabio Fognini.
