Among the six nominees for World Sportsman of the Year, Djokovic is tipped as one of the favorites. The Serb won the Australian, Wimbledon and US Open Grand Slams and had a winning record of 70-6 in 2011. His closest contender is being seen as Messi. If Messi wins, he will be the first footballer to take home the award.
However, tennis players seem to be favored by Laureus, as 16-time Grand Slam winner Roger Federer was crowned four times. The Jamaican runner Usain Bolt, who holds both World and Olympics records, is also in contention for his third Laureus award.
Many great names of sports are expected to attend the ceremony.
