Novak Djokovic he returned to his Belgrade after undergoing surgery on his right knee at the Ramsay Santé clinic in Paris to treat the meniscus injury which occurred during the match against Francisco Cerundolo in the round of 16 Roland Garros.
The Serbian champion managed to win that match despite the serious injury, but then announced that he would not take part in the quarter-final with Casper Ruudbecause the instrumental tests had highlighted a lesion to the meniscus.
Djokovic’s hope is to recover in time to chase the dream called gold medal at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games and it therefore seems difficult to see him on the court at Wimbledon. Antoine Gerometta, the doctor who operated on him, was clear: “Wimbledon? For me it is unlikely that he will be able to return to 100% condition in three weeks.”
Novak Djokovic, here’s how his recovery is progressing after knee surgery
Once he returned to his homeland, Djokovic resorted – according to what was reported by Informer – to the treatment method linked to the use of the hyperbaric chamber.
An increasingly widespread treatment among athletes: in the world of tennis, for example, too Rafael Nadal in the past he relied on the hyperbaric chamber; as well as champions of the caliber of Neymar, Ronaldo and Lukaku in football.
The latter allows you to recover more quickly from some injuries thanks to greater oxygenation at the tissue level. Djokovic is already walking without resorting to crutches, but he still appeared to have a limp.
