As the Wimbledon draw, which he has won seven times, takes place on Friday at 11 a.m. (French time), Novak Djokovic continues to train with the hope of taking part in the third Grand Slam of the year . On Thursday, the 37-year-old Serbian took over from defending champion Carlos Alcaraz on center court to play the ball with world number 1 Jannik Sinner.
And at the end of a training session where the Italian led 6-3, 1-2, the man with 24 Grand Slams was questioned as he left the court by a handful of journalists who asked him if he would or not in the table. And he gave a thumbs up, according to American media The Athletic.
He has been training in London since Monday
Withdrawn before his quarter-final at Roland-Garros due to an injury to his right meniscus, he underwent an arthroscopy immediately. Arriving on Monday in the suburbs of London to train, the 37-year-old Serbian, 2nd in the world, declared on Thursday on the BBC: “I didn’t come to only play a few rounds. I will play if I am able. But I can’t know in advance if I will be at 100% of my abilities and what will happen after the first or second match. I will evaluate day by day. I will make a decision based on my feelings, and the conclusion that my team and I have reached, based on observations, within four, five or six days. If I can play as close to my maximum, or at my maximum, then I will compete in this competition. Otherwise, I’ll give someone else the chance to line up. »
