Tennis: Djokovic in the tough? He announces the color!

Holder of a Master’s degree in sports journalism, I fell in love with tennis since childhood and have always loved reading the great stories of this sport. Today, I want to tell them about them, take full advantage of my passion and be as close as possible to the aces of the circuit.
Forced to withdraw before the quarter-finals of Roland-Garros due to a torn meniscus, Novak Djokovic had to undergo surgery before embarking on a very hectic summer. Indeed, the Serbian should normally observe a convalescence period of several weeks and his participation in Wimbledon seems compromised in the best physical conditions for him. This 2024 season is important for him since he aims to shine at the Olympic Games this summer but this episode could cost him dearly…
At 37, Novak Djokovic had to have surgery to treat his knee and it’s never good to experience such an injury, especially at that age. Despite everything, the Serbian is already back in training and can even run, two weeks after the operation. While waiting to know what he has decided for Wimbledonwhich begins on July 1, he has never stopped reminding that his real goal is the gold medal in Paris this summer, on the courts of Roland-Garros. But the task promises to be more than complicated…
Djokovic prepares for Wimbledon
At the time of his operation, his surgeon seemed very pessimistic about the chances of seeing him line up at Wimbledon in ten days. The knee arthroscopy he underwent normally requires several weeks of convalescence and a return to great form after six weeks, at the time of Olympic Games. In recent days, however, the man with 24 titles Grand Chelem seems to be preparing for the London Major with great hope. It remains to be seen under what conditions it might arrive.
Not in good enough shape to win?
Uninspired since the start of the 2024 season, Novak Djokovic knows that this is probably his last chance to win a gold medal at the Olympic Games, and in a place he knows very well. However, it seems very difficult to see him triumph at the moment… “Novak Djokovic, if he plays, will now be seeded number 2 at Wimbledon. The Olympics are his priority, which, given his patriotic fervor, is admirable. However, the reality is that if he was reasonably fit, he would have a better chance at Wimbledon than at the Olympics… I put it like that,” says Paul McNameeformer world number 1 in doubles, on X. The Australian is surely referring to his experience on grass and the fact that clay is becoming more difficult to master for a 37-year-old player.
