Recovery of Novak Djokovic to be able to dispute Wimbledon After his surgery on his right knee, he is racing against the clock. The Serbian, 37 years old, is going through crucial days to know if he will be able to participate or not in the All England Club.
According to the Serbian media Sports, Nole is in London and is expected to start running in a straight line in the next few days. However, the friend and former tennis player of the former world No. 1, Marion Bartolihe confessed to the Balkan portal: “Djokovic is more likely to play at Wimbledon than not. Stop thinking he won’t play, no one can say that today. “If he goes to Wimbledon, he will be 100 percent and, of course, he will be among the two big favorites.”
Novak had surgery a few days after his match against Francisco Cerúndolo, in which despite having a tear in the meniscus of his right knee, the Serbian came back in the match and took the victory. However, that did not stop him from abandoning and prioritizing his physical condition to reach the Paris 2024 Olympic Games in the best possible way, his great goal this season.
If Djokovic does not participate in Wimbledon, the winner of 24 Grand Slam tournaments will not be able to defend the 1,200 points he earned for being a finalist in 2023. In this way, he could leave the Top 3 of the ATP ranking and lose several important units to once again fight for the top of the rankings.
