Between his duel with Francisco Cerúndolo (27th) in the round of 16 at Roland Garros and this Friday there were 25 days. On that occasion, when he won despite the pain that plagued him throughout the day, Novak Djokovic (2°) She suffered a torn medial meniscus in her right knee. With Wimbledon just around the corner, it was only logical that she would miss the tournament. Against all odds, the Serbian has pulled off a miracle and will be present at the British Grand Slam.
After having undergone surgery, Nole began a recovery against the clockA few days later, she appeared on her social media using a stationary bike; a week ago, she was already practicing on hard courts, and here, she trained with Federico Coria (71st) on the grass courts.
The goal, as set, was to reach Wimbledon “Only if I am in good condition to fight for the title”. It seems that he is, and that he will seek his eighth crown (he has already won seven and reached the final in the last five years, losing the last one against Carlos Alcaraz).

Djokovic’s first rival and his possible path at Wimbledon
The Serbian’s first match will be against Czech Vit Kopriva (123rd)coming from the qualy. If he continues to advance, he could end up facing Thomas Etcheverry (31st) in a hypothetical third round, as long as the Argentine does not fall behind (his first obstacle will be the Italian Luca Nardi).
The big names could begin to appear in a possible round of 16, in which they are expected to appear Holger Rune o Karen Khachanov. If logic were to be correct, he could face the Polish Hubert Hurkacz in the quarterfinals and the German Alexander Zverev, recent runner-up at Roland Garros, in the semifinals. Although, of course, Djokovic’s first challenge will be for his physique to resist so soon after his operationThe mere fact that I’m on the pitch is a miracle. A miracle fulfilled…
