The Serbian champion has already reached the All England Club and the sensations regarding his participation after meniscus surgery are positive
What seemed like just a suggestion could instead turn into reality if Novak Djokovic’s body responds well to training on grass. The 37-year-old had already returned to hard court training – a sign that many interpreted as an attempt to play in the Wimbledon Championships. As communicated by the official profile of the Championships, Djokovic arrived at Wimbledon and he has already exchanged a few shots on one of the secondary courts.
The Serbian champion has not yet made any official decision and his presence in the third Slam of the season remains in strong doubt, because the injury which occurred at Roland Garros is serious and does not allow him to take risks, but the latest indications would seem positive: Nole could really play the Championships, as also suggested by many rumors coming from the UK and close to the London tournament.
In fact, in the background there are the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, an event in which he wants to participate to try to win the medal, but, at the same time, Djokovic is also attracted by the possibility of matching Roger Federer’s 8 titles record. A strong motivation for the Serbian champion who, before the end of his career, would like to achieve this milestone. A record that seemed impossible to improve, after Federer’s 8th title, obtained by the Swiss Maestro in 2017.
Djokovic’s arrival at Wimbledon was expected today, but the Serbian star decided not to waste any further time and already reached the All England Club yesterday. Eighteen days have passed since the surgery he underwent on his right knee after the injury suffered at Roland Garros, where he won the match against Francisco Cerundolo, despite the meniscus injury. Nole, however, was forced to give up the quarter-final with Casper Ruud to undergo surgery and begin rehabilitation in Belgrade. Djokovic showed the progress made day after day on his social accounts and in the latest video published we glimpsed the work carried out on the court with the racket.
His former coach Boris Becker expressed his satisfaction with Djokovic’s arrival at Wimbledon, underlining how this is good news, through a post X:
