The Wimbledon draw found after a long time Novak Djokovic as second seed. Amid doubts due to the meniscus operation he underwent three weeks ago, he finally appeared in London and exercised during the last few days at Grand Slam speed. Even with the world number one himself, Jannik Sinner.
The Serbian’s expectations are not as high as usual but if he decided to go on stage it is because he is optimal to compete and the prize is great. Not only economically.
It will be measured at Vit Kopriva in his debut on Tuesday and He has a pleasant start to the tournament to gauge the state of his knee and get into rhythm. Neither did Alejandro Moro (from the qualifying phase) or Jacob Fearnley (wildcard) in second.
Does not have the third round (Thomas Etcheverry or Alexei Popyrin) why worry a Serbian who will need to take another step in the round of 16, where a Holger Rune or a Karen Khachanov can be your rivals.
Until the quarter-finals, when Alex de Minaur, winner in s’Hertogenbosch, and Hubert Hurkacz appear, one of the best services on the circuit.
The end of the road would be with Alexander Zverev or Andrey Rublev and Carlos Alcaraz or Jannik Sinner in the definition. No more no less.
